Chapter 474: The Battle of Red Cliffs (I)


The alliance of princes is training troops here, and Jiangdong Lu Bu is also training the navy.

It's just that on Lu Bu's side in Jiangdong, there is Gan Ning, a fierce general on the water.

The training of the Jiangdong Navy has been carried out impressively.

It is believed that in less than two months, the new army of the Jiangdong Navy will be able to have good combat effectiveness.

Because the sailors recruited by the Jiangdong Navy were originally the children of Jiangdong, they grew up by the riverside and were young and strong with excellent water nature.

The new army of the alliance of princes is incomparable with the Jiangdong naval army.

Now the new army of the naval army of the alliance of princes has not even overcome the problem of seasickness, let alone combat effectiveness.

So far, the 30,000 naval army in Jingzhou can be used, and the 120,000 troops drawn from the alliance of princes are worrying.

In this case, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the alliance of princes.

Because of the new army of Jiangdong Lu Bu's naval army, the combat effectiveness will become stronger and stronger with the training.

As for the alliance of princes, because there are no qualified generals to train them, the progress of strength is very slow.

In the end, after the discussion of several princes, it was decided not to drag it out anymore and start a decisive battle of the naval army as soon as possible On the side of Jiangdong Lu Bu, a large number of scouts will be sent to patrol the river every day, and they dare not slack off in the slightest.

Soon, they discovered that the coalition of princes across the river had recently assembled warships and seemed to be preparing for war.

On the Jiangdong Lü Bu side, Lü Bu appointed Zhou Yu as the governor of the navy, with full responsibility for all matters of the water war.

Gan Ning was the commander of the navy, commanding 50,000 sailors and was dispatched by Zhou Yu.

At present, the number of Jiangdong's naval troops is about 150,000.

It's just that the new army, which has nearly 100,000 troops, has just received training, and it is difficult for them to form combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Lu Bu decided to use only 50,000 sailors to participate in the war at present.

Regarding Lu Bu's appointment, the military advisers under Lu Bu's account had a lot of doubts.

They thought Lu Bu's appointment was too child's play.

After all, Zhou Yu is still a teenager, and he is not even an adult.

Is it appropriate to put all the water army, and even the future of Jiangdong, on a teenager These military advisors don't have much contact with Zhou Yu.

Although he knew that Zhou Yu was extremely intelligent, he didn't know what Zhou Yu's command ability was.

Therefore, the doubts of several military advisors are actually a very normal thing.

In the face of this question, Lu Bu only asked rhetorically: "Then which of you has the ability to fight water and who can command this water war?"

In the face of Lu Bu's question, everyone shut up There is no way, although there are many talents and heroes during the Three Kingdoms period But there are actually very few people who can dominate on the water, and there are only a few people in Jiangdong on the left and right.

After all, the conquests during the Three Kingdoms period were mainly inland conquests, and the places where the navy could come in handy were very limited.

Since they don't understand water warfare and can't command water warfare, the command of water warfare can only be handed over to Zhou Yu, a hairy boy.

I hope that Zhou Yu, a hairy boy, will not disappoint them On the second day, the two sides gathered numerous ships and fought fiercely on the river.

The place of the battle, called Chibi In terms of the alliance of princes, it was 30,000 sailors from Jingzhou who were dispatched.

At present, the only thing they can take out is these 30,000 water troops.

They pinned their hopes on using these 30,000 sailors to inflict heavy losses on Lu Bu's sailors.

After all, Jingzhou has been developing for many years, and Jiangdong has only just risen in the past two years.

It is even said that the rise of the four counties in Jiangdong is only a short period of more than a year.

They didn't believe that the veteran navy in Jingzhou would not be able to defeat the Jiangdong navy that they had just established for a year.

Soon, the two sides lined up on the river and carried out a tentative attack.

In Jiangbei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu all climbed high and looked at the two warring sides on the river, their hearts were very nervous, and they didn't dare to blink their eyes.

In the south of the Yangtze River, Lu Bu led Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others to climb high and look.

Compared with the nervous mood of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others in Jiangbei, the mood of Xun Yu and Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others can be described by the word apprehension.

There's no way, don't be worried, they really don't know Zhou Yu.

Who knows if this hairy boy will trap their water army Among all the people, only Lu Bu didn't look nervous, his expression was determined, and he looked confident.

In fact, how could Lu Bu's heart calm down Although in the original historical trajectory, Zhou Yu's water warfare ability was very rebellious, and he was the governor of the naval army of Eastern Wu, but who knows what his current level is After all, he is still very young and inexperienced, and he is far from growing up.

But now there is no way, he has no one available, so he can only choose to believe Zhou Yu.

I hope Zhou Yu can stand up Soon, the two sides gradually launched a real fire from tentative attacks, and both sides continued to send fleets to join the battle.

The water, which was two or three miles wide, was soon filled with ships from both sides, stretching for ten miles, full of ships of great battles on both sides.

Under the collision between the two sides, soldiers were constantly hit by arrows in the Luojiang River, and ships were constantly destroyed, or they were torn apart by the reef, and the wreckage flowed down the river.

However, as the battle unfolded, gradually, the Jingzhou naval army gained a bit of the upper hand.

The leader who commanded the Jingzhou naval army was Huang Zu, who had a certain ability and level in water warfare.

Seeing that the situation was favorable to him, Cao Cao couldn't help but rejoice: "General Huang Zu is worthy of being a veteran, he should be old and strong, looking at the current situation, this battle can be won."

Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Yes, seeing that the Jiangdong Navy is retreating one after another, it has fallen into a critical situation, and I believe that it will not be long before it will be completely defeated."

Liu Biao smiled and said: "Huang Zu is one of the veterans I admire the most, if we win this battle, naturally we will no longer talk about it, as long as we can win this battle today, tomorrow we can wave our army and drive straight into and occupy the four counties of Jiangdong in Lu Bu."

If the Jiangdong naval army can be eliminated today, tomorrow they will be able to use ships to carry the army directly to Huanglong, the four counties of Jiangdong, and they will be able to get it at their fingertips.

It's just that how to distribute these four counties, I'm afraid that there will be a dispute at that time, and even swords and soldiers will have to meet each other But now you can't control so much, it depends on when Huang Zu can defeat the Jiangdong Water Army Compared with the jubilant spirit of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others in Jiangbei, Jiangnan is lifeless.

Everyone can see that the situation is not good, this Zhou Yu is still too young, and he is really not the opponent of the veteran.

Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh and said: "Our navy, I'm afraid that it can't withstand it, and now we must strengthen the defense of the four counties in Jiangdong."

In fact, even if Lu Bu's naval army was defeated, the only places they could attack were Danyang County and Yuzhang County.

But even in these two counties, the defense line is too long.

Lu Bu probably had more than 100,000 troops, and it was simply impossible to defend such a long defensive line.

Once the alliance of princes tore the hole, the two sides are bound to fall into a long tug-of-war.

In this case, it will be a huge obstacle to the development of Koto
