Three Kingdoms: Starting War Strategy System

Today, the Changshan Army and the Jiangdong Army fought, and then each retreated, cleaning up after the war, etc. It was already dusk.

After Liu Chen led his army to attack, the sky gradually became dark.

This quiet moment of the night is actually not conducive to marching and fighting, not to mention that their feet are not on solid land underground, but on the Yangtze River with rolling waves.

If you are not careful, you may be swallowed by the turbulent waters of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River has a huge temperature difference between day and night. You can still swim in the water during the day, but it is definitely difficult to do so late at night.

Even with the ability bonus, the Changshan Army soldiers could not stay in the river for a long time.

The most important thing is that due to malnutrition, most of the ancient soldiers had night blindness, which meant they could not see clearly at night, just like a black blind man.

This is why, throughout the ages, there have been very few battles involving marches in the middle of the night. This is why.

Of course, there are no absolutes.

Today's Changshan Army is under Liu Chen's governance. It can be said that it is well clothed and well fed, and the military pay and other food supplies for the officers and soldiers are also at the best level.

There was no deprivation of military pay at all, which also made the physical fitness and nutritional level of the Changshan Army officers superior to those of other princes' armies.

Coupled with the help of ability bonuses, the physical fitness of the soldiers is very strong, and the effects of night blindness are almost negligible!

Under the illumination of torches, more than a hundred battleships attacked Chibi in a mighty manner.

However, Liu Chen did not attack Chibi with his entire army, but divided his forces to fight. Almost half of his troops and warships detoured to the lower reaches, that is, Xiakou on the east side.

There are various preparations for this.

The most important point is that if Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong troops receive news that Jiangdong is under attack, they will definitely need to lead their troops to retreat.

Withdrawing troops by land and water is undoubtedly the best choice for Jiangdong Army.

In this way, dividing the troops to fight at Xiakou can also block Zhou Yu's withdrawal at that time and stage an ambush.

……

More than a hundred warships of the Changshan Army separated and marched toward the destination in a mighty manner. The ships with torches were cruising on the river, just like ghost ships, looking eerie and strange.

This side of Chibi.

Jiangdong Army is stationed here.

We experienced a big battle today, although in the end Zhou Yu designed a fire attack and defeated the Changshan Army, making them feel proud and proud.

But it is undeniable that after two major battles and dozens of small-scale battles, their Jiangdong navy suffered heavy losses.

Of the more than two hundred warships, there are now less than a hundred left.

The total strength of 300,000 troops is now only about 200,000, most of which are sick and wounded soldiers.

Chang Shanjun is still very powerful! Let them still have lingering fears!

After returning to the camp with exhausted bodies, the Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers were about to go down to rest.

But.

To their disbelief, Zhou Yu actually ordered all the soldiers to stay on high alert without taking off their saddles or armor.

This made the whole army into an uproar!

After all, they had just gone through several battles. They were hungry and disabled, and they were not even allowed to rest. Do they really want to let them die from exhaustion?

The officers and soldiers of the Jiangdong Army dared to be angry but dared not speak out. After all, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other generals had accumulated great power, so they could only complain, and then eat to fill their stomachs while preparing to be on guard.

This state did not last long. After the crowd was quiet late at night, the scouts and spies hurriedly came to report, breaking the silence of the military camp.

"Report! According to the Governor, Chang Shan's army led an attack and has reached our army more than ten miles away, where it can be seen!"

After Zhou Yu inquired carefully, he realized that the so-called visible fire was the fire on the bank of the 943 River. He immediately arranged for the soldiers to be on guard and prepare for the next battle. At this time, the soldiers suddenly realized that Zhou Yu asked them not to remove their armor and maintain their A state of high-intensity alert.

If the Changshan Army were to get close, they would not even have a chance to board the ship to fight. Who would have thought that the Changshan Army would still be so energetic in the middle of the night? The

Commander-in-Chief, Zhou Yu, is indeed a talented general with uncanny calculations and strategic planning..

Thanks to Zhou Yu's advance precautions, all the soldiers were ready for battle after only half an hour, maintaining their wartime status again.

Zhou Yu was even dressed in military uniform and led the soldiers on board the ship to prepare for war.

"As expected, Gong Jin caught his eye."Lu Su said with some surprise as he walked quickly:"I didn't expect Changshan Army to really attack at night!"

"Damn it, you’re not afraid of water ghosts coming up in the middle of the night.……"Zhou Tai and other generals on the side were cursing.

Zhou Yu ignored the curses of the soldiers and replied to Lu Su:

"According to my observation, Chang Shanjun has excellent physical fitness and strong recovery ability. It's best to make a comeback."

Lu Su nodded, quite convinced!

If their Jiangdong Army had such physical fitness, Jingzhou would have been in their hands a long time ago, why should they be so passive like now!

After all the soldiers boarded the ship, the water fence of the Jiangdong Navy slowly opened, The warships left the Chibi station one after another.

After sailing out of the station's water defenses, the soldiers' eyes widened instantly, and they also saw dots of fire on the river bank, which were obviously the number of warships of the Changshan Army.

Zhou Yu's eyes condensed, and according to Judging from the density and number of torches, it seems that the Changshan Army did not move in full force.

"Is this battle an all-out battle, a test attack, or a tired strategy?"Zhou Yu frowned and thought that this point is very important and determines his layout.

The water flow here in Chibi is relatively gentle, which is good for crossing the river. The water flow is strong in other strategic places, which is not good for marching.

And now late at night, the temperature of the Yangtze River is cooling down very quickly. , the fog is thick, making it blurry and difficult to see clearly.

In this case, it would be unwise to divide the troops to fight, or to attack Chibi openly and secretly cross elsewhere.

Therefore, if we attack with all our strength, the entire army should attack Chibi. But looking at the density of torches now, it doesn’t look like the full lineup of the Changshan Army.

"The vanguard moved forward carefully to explore, and the fleet spread out to move forward, allowing the soldiers to prepare arrows, ballistae and other long-range attacks.……"

Zhou Yu looked at the direction of the wind blowing the military flag. It was blowing to them in the southwest direction,"Be careful to guard against enemy fire attacks."

Jiangdong Navy's order was quickly passed on, and more than a hundred warships instantly changed their military formations, and then sailed towards the opposite side. go.

Explore the fleet first and sail forward at a faster speed to avoid encountering the strategy of locking the river across the river and annihilating the entire army.

It was at this time.

The fire suddenly lit up, and dozens of assault boats flew in like arrows, with blazing fires igniting above them.

Zhou Yu was not surprised. Now Changshan's army had the advantage of the wind direction, the sailing speed reached the extreme, and the fire attack could also achieve a good effect.

Fire attacks do not necessarily need to cause large-area damage. The flames can shock the enemy, allow the fleet to change its course, or light up the surrounding area to act as lighting. These are all good methods.

The leading troops in front met the fire ship immediately. They immediately wanted to change the channel to avoid the fire attack of the charging boat.

They were just the vanguard, and most of the ships they drove were small boats. Their purpose was to quickly explore the waters ahead and avoid setting traps for the enemy.

Equivalent to the cannon fodder vanguard.

The fire ship passed them and flew towards the rear.

From the corner of their eyes, these vanguard troops of the Jiangdong Army saw the straw, dry firewood, kerosene and other objects on the ship, as well as the iron nails, awls and other objects on the bow, which were burning and flying towards the rear.

Immediately, some officers and soldiers of the vanguard army waved torches. This was a secret message among their Jiangdong army, with the purpose of avoiding the fleet behind them.

Otherwise, if it is hit by a fire ship, the iron nails in front will penetrate directly into the ship, which will definitely cause flames and then ignite..only.

After leaving, the vanguard of the Jiangdong Army were just relieved when they suddenly discovered that there was a small boat not far behind the fire ship. There were a dozen Changshan Army generals on it, obviously preparing for a sneak attack.

"Is this... using the principle of darkness under the lamp?!"

The members of the vanguard of the Jiangdong Army were shocked for an instant. After waking up, their faces turned pale. Just as they were about to warn the large forces behind them, the sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air came.

Puff -

Puff -

Four or five people were on board this small boat. The leading troops of the Jiangdong Army fell directly into the river with a pop. The water surface was bright red, but it was difficult to see clearly under the night.

This scene appeared in all directions.

Changshan Army seemed to use fire attacks, but in fact There are soldiers following behind, using the dark principle under the lamp to hide from the sky, and get closer to the Jiangdong Navy force little by little.

Not only that, the blazing fire ship can also play a psychological role in diverting attention, just like the sight of the inducement. Most of the eyes were attracted to the focus of the fire ship, but ignored the sneak attack team behind it.

In addition to the sneak attack by small boats behind the fire ship, there were also dozens of small boats in the invisible night, carrying about a dozen people. The officers and soldiers of the Changshan Army approached and attacked!

This was not one ship, but dozens or hundreds of ships!

The vanguard of the Jiangdong Army was being pulled out bit by bit. If it were daytime, it would naturally not be hidden from the eyes and ears of Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong Army officers.

But It's night now.

What's more, after being alerted by the vanguard, the Jiangdong Army behind was busy changing the channel to avoid the attack of the fire ships.

For a moment, he didn't even notice!

This is Liu Chen's purpose, to use his own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses, Use the Changshan Army's best hand-to-hand combat to attack the Jiangdong Navy and avoid long-range combat with them!

If you use a warship to forcefully approach, the Jiangdong Navy will be far away from you, but if you use a small boat to make a surprise attack, it will be broken into pieces, allowing The enemy is hard to guard against, and the success rate is extremely high!

On the Changshan Army's main battleship.

Liu Chen predicted the time when the sneak attack team would leave, and then ordered to his subordinates:"Light all the torches, blow the attack horn, and beat the drums to cheer!"

"yes!"

Immediately some soldiers went down to take care of it.

There were dense straw men tied to both sides of the battleship, each holding a torch. When the soldiers gradually lit it, the lights on the Changshan Army battleship suddenly became bright. Then they sounded the attack howl and beat the enemy. Drums and cheers.

At this moment, the Changshan fleet was like the bright moon in the dark night, shining brightly and attracting all the attention in an instant.

A series of preparations or sight-inducing tactics attracted the enemy's attention. , creating time for the sneak attack team!

Miles away.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other advisers and generals who were thinking about the Changshan Army's strategic goals and guessing the Changshan Army's strategic intentions were instantly shocked by the trumpets and drums, and they all focused their attention!

"What the hell is Chang Shanjun doing? Doesn’t this distance seem like an attack is possible? Lu

Su frowned and said seriously. His intuition told him that the Changshan Army would never act without aim.

Zhou Yu glanced at the dense torches and secretly nodded in his heart. Based on the density of the torches, it was speculated that the Changshan Army is now the leader. The entire army was truly dispatched.

It seemed that in this battle, the opponent was not trying to make a false move, but was really preparing to attack with all his strength.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu was about to change his formation when a warning voice suddenly came:"The enemy is attacking.……"

Poof - just as the sound came out, the watchman standing at the bow of the ship fell directly into the river, apparently dying.

The Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers on the boat were stunned for a moment, and then woke up, roars sounded one after another.

"Enemy attack!~~~"

"Enemy attack!~~~~~"

Everyone looked towards the river below, and finally saw the Changshan Army team making a sneak attack behind the fire ship.

These Changshan Army officers reacted extremely quickly, holding crossbows and firing directly at the hull.

The crossbow arrows flew away, and many arrows were tied with strings. They pulled them, and they actually approached the Jiangdong Army warship as if they were swinging.

Dong Dong - the sound of stepping on the soles of feet came, and then like an ape, with the help of arrows and the pull of the string, he climbed directly onto the battleship of the Jiangdong Navy.

There were also officers and soldiers of the Changshan Army who continuously and intensively fired at the Jiangdong Army warships. They used the Liu Chen (Zhuge) repeating crossbow, which was invented by Liu Chen.

Ten consecutive arrows were fired directly at the Jiangdong Army warship. The hit rate of this continuous crossbow was not good, but the Changshan Army's attacking troops did not care.

The arrows of these crossbows were inserted hard into the Jiangdong Army warships, as if they could climb over and borrow strength.

Those soldiers of the Changshan Army who climbed onto the battleship but were besieged and knocked down, and those soldiers of the Changshan Army who failed to swing and fell into the water can use these crossbow arrows to board the battleship of the Jiangdong Army again.

What's more, just like a martial arts master, he used the plank on the water surface to step on the hull of the enemy warship, and then used the strength to jump onto the enemy warship.

This exaggerated person boarding the ship is none other than Zhao Yun!

There are various other methods, all appearing in the hands of Changshan Army, with the same purpose, which is to board the enemy fleet!

The officers and soldiers of the Jiangdong navy reacted and responded quickly.

They launched a siege against Chang Shan's army who had forcibly boarded the ship. Those who had not yet come up took an object and threw it down, hoping to knock down the enemy.

Some Jiangdong Army soldiers used bows and arrows to shoot. Some were successful, but some were unsuccessful because the speed was too slow, allowing the enemy to board the ship and kill them!

On one side is the Changshan Army who forcibly boarded the ship, and on the other side is the Jiangdong Army who is panicking and defensive on the ship. This is a true portrayal of the Jiangdong Army fleet today.

At the beginning, Changshan's army was still at a disadvantage. A few soldiers boarded the warship and were surrounded and attacked.

But after more and more Changshan Army soldiers successfully boarded the ship, they immediately launched a counterattack.

Facing these Changshan Army officers and soldiers who were fighting one against five, like wolves and tigers, the officers and soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were unable to resist at all, and they were retreating steadily!

The most terrifying thing was the battleship Zhao Yun boarded.

This world's number one and peerless general seemed to be trying to wash away today's humiliation. He defeated a hundred enemies and swept through thousands of troops. He suppressed thousands of enemy troops on board with one man's power, demonstrating his world-shattering strength!

The initiative of the first battleship to be breached had actually been transferred to the Changshan Army.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other important advisers and governors would naturally not be on the battleships on the front line. Just like generals marching, the generals would be guarded by the Chinese army.

Zhou Yu's fleet is located at the rear, so it has not been attacked by Changshan's army yet.

They saw the fleet on the front line from a distance, and were gradually attacked and boarded by Changshan Army officers. Then they gradually retreated steadily until they lost the initiative of the warships.

"This is a plan to use the darkness of night to hide the truth! Those fire ships and the sudden appearance of trumpets and drums are just to divert our attention! Lu

Su sighed and said:"Only soldiers with strong physical fitness like the Changshan Army can carry out such a sneak attack!""

Zhou Yu's face was a little ugly and gloomy!

At this time, they couldn't even attack, or they didn't dare to attack.

Because on the fallen battleship in front, in addition to the Changshan Army, there were also Jiangdong Army officers and men.

They couldn't shoot from a long distance to avoid being injured. Friendly forces, but they cannot board the ships to fight in close combat, because they are no match for the Changshan Army.

However, if they do not attack, they will just let twenty or thirty warships fall into the hands of the enemy, which will increase the enemy's strength and weaken their own combat effectiveness. Zhou Yu is worried He was unwilling to give in.

But what could he do if he was unwilling to give in?

At this moment, Zhou Yu finally realized that Huang Zhong fell into a trap and dozens of warships were caught in a fire attack and burned down!

Zhou Yu is very unwilling and aggrieved now!

"This is by no means a counterattack by the naval forces commanded by Huang Zhong, is it Guo Jia? Or Cheng Yu? Or maybe it's...Changshan King himself?!"

Intuition told Zhou Yu that this time the commander of the Changshan Army and Navy was King Changshan himself!

Holding his breath, Zhou Yu directly ordered the withdrawal of troops!

Even if there were twenty or thirty warships ahead, and even if there were tens of thousands of soldiers on board, Zhou Yu could only act decisively Withdraw the troops! It's too late to rescue. If we force the rescue, more soldiers will be trapped!

Just after the Jiangdong fleet changed its course and evacuated, Liu Chen led the Changshan fleet to attack with great momentum!

Seeing Zhou Yu's decisive withdrawal of troops, Liu Chen felt a little bit in his heart It is a pity that if Zhou Yu chose to attack and rescue, he would have buried the Jiangdong Army here.

However, Liu Chen had already been prepared for Zhou Yu's response.

Liu Chen ordered the fleet to speed up. When approaching the fallen Jiangdong Army warship, there were already were controlled by Chang Shan's army.

They did not stop to assist, but quickly pursued Zhou Yu's withdrawal.

"Gong Jin and Chang Shan's army are determined to hold on. If they force their way back to Chibi, the water fence may not be able to be closed!"Lu Su said worriedly.

The water fence is also a water fortification, which is to prevent the enemy's warships from attacking, but it takes a certain time to open the switch.

But the Changshan fleet behind them is getting faster and faster, and they still have There is no way that more than fifty warships can all enter smoothly.

"Send soldiers back to Chibi to communicate and ask them to be careful."

Zhou Yu ordered in an orderly manner:"Send the vanguard fleet east to Xiakou, let Huang Zu and other garrison assist in the defense, and at the same time explore whether there is an ambush.

"We immediately turned to Xiakou, not too fast. If the Changshan Army turned to attack Chibi, we immediately changed direction to fight back and hit them with a counterattack."

Zhou Yu's orders were quickly implemented.

These instructions are very strict, and the dispatch of ships needs to be flexibly used. However, Zhou Yu is very confident in the Jiangdong Army officers who are skilled in sail control!

The rear.

Liu Chen watched Zhou Yu's fleet turn eastward After that, he directly ordered:

"I left two battleships and three thousand soldiers behind, and told Zilong and the others at the rear to find a way to burn down Chibi's defenses."

Zhao Yun was originally in the raiding team. This kind of operation was equivalent to a death squad. Zhao Yun, a high-ranking general, dared to accompany him.

It can be said that he was full of courage.

As soon as the soldiers beside him retreated, Huang Zhong handed over Said:"Your Highness, I will stay here to assist General Zhao and make meritorious deeds!""

Liu Chen took a deep look at Huang Zhong and found that Huang Zhong's face was firm, as if he wanted to avenge his shame. He nodded and said,"Okay!"

"General Dian, protect the lord!"Huang Zhong was overjoyed, but did not forget to warn him.

Wei nodded and said:"Don't worry, General Huang! If you want to hurt my lord, step over my body first!"

Huang Zhong nodded and retreated, threw a small boat from the stern of the ship, jumped on it, and sailed towards the remaining fleet. go.

Only then did Huang Zhong realize that Liu Chen had left two warships behind, but now there were five, and the number of soldiers had increased from 3,000 to 10,000.

"Lord!!"

Huang Zhong was a little moved. This was because he was afraid that he would not be able to think about attacking Chibi by force, and the remaining manpower would be used by him.

In addition to the original 20,000 people in the assault team, if the loss is not serious, there would be 30,000 Changshan Army soldiers.

The most important thing is What's more, there is Zhao Yun, a peerless general!

How could Huang Zhong not be moved!

After the daytime battle, the Changshan Army now has a total strength of only about 150,000, of which 50,000 or 60,000 are Xiangyang Navy.

After dividing the troops at Xiakou, Liu Chen's men It’s only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, leaving almost half of it for him.

"The final general will definitely capture Chibi, otherwise, he will be too embarrassed to face the lord and brothers!"

Huang Zhong said firmly, with the thought of facing death as if he were going home, he boarded the remaining warship and headed to the rear to meet up with Zhao Yun.

The two armies soon joined together, and Zhao Yun led the captured more than 20 warships in a mighty manner. It was driving towards them.

After the two generals communicated, Zhao Yun nodded and said:

"This attack was unexpected and unprepared, and our troops suffered no more than a few thousand casualties. However, the enemy soldiers still have more than 30,000 surrendered soldiers, and nearly 10,000 soldiers need to be left to guard them."

Huang Zhong nodded, then they can mobilize more than 20,000 Changshan Army soldiers.

"I wonder what General Zhao has planned? Huang Zhong asked.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said,"Perhaps we can use these Jiangdong Army warships and the armor of Jiangdong Army officers to disguise themselves and enter?""

"With Zhou Yu's plan, he should be able to guard against this. Huang Zhong frowned and thought for a moment and said,"And we don't know their marching orders either.""

"I will try to lure the Jiangdong Army to surrender. If I can capture Chibi, I will mark their first contribution."Zhao Yun said.

Huang Zhong nodded:"That's just right!"

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong jointly captured Chibi, and Liu Chen led the Changshan Navy to pursue Zhou Yu.

Now Liu Chen has more than 50 warships behind him and about 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers. This is the result of attrition after two divisions.

But for To deceive others, Liu Chen ordered people to put a lot of straw men on both sides of the ship. They could barely make up the number even if they were wearing clothes and armor. From a visual inspection, it looked like an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people was guarding them, chasing Zhou Yu's fleeing Jiangdong fleet.
