Liu Biao had led the army to Jiangling three days ago, after he arrived in Jiangling, the first military order was to let Wang Wei lead 5,000 soldiers and horses across the river to aid Xiaoling, and now Cai Mao's army is facing off with Wuling Taishou Du Bozhi has nearly 30,000 troops.
"Cai Mao, is there any movement," Lu Meng asked patiently.
"In the past few days, Cai Mao has concentrated the naval warships on the south bank, with 3,000 sergeants stationed there, and used warships to and fro the Yangtze River waterway every day, transporting the wounded and grain and grass back and forth."
Lu Meng raised his hand slightly, "Go on." ” "Huh", the young Confucian raised the bamboo pole in his hand and pointed to the sand table in the tent, "Now there are only 4,000 soldiers and horses left in Du Bo's troops stationed in Linyuan. ” Lu Meng glanced at him with interest: "I would like to hear about it." ” "First, Du Bozhi was originally Zhang Xian's old department, and now Zhang Xian is dead, he is stationed between the two armies, in a dilemma, if he fights, he only has one way to die in defeat, so this person must choose one and follow."
Lu Meng glanced at him appreciatively, "What you said is true, yesterday Wu Wei summoned that Cai Mao sent Yi nationality into Linyuan City, and he has not left the city today. ” Confucian Sheng's face changed slightly, "General, if Du Bo surrenders to Liu Biao, Cai Mao's army will fight our army head-on, our army is now less than 10,000 soldiers, how can we resist the enemy?"
Lu Meng waved his hand, "The lord has ordered General Dong Xi to lead the five thousand elites of the Huben battalion to Changsha, personally lead Lingling Wei Yan, Changsha Huanjie, Gan Ning and other generals, transfer 20,000 soldiers from Jiangdong Tuntian, and when the lord arrives, our army will reach 40,000 soldiers and horses." ” "When will the lord arrive?"
"If it doesn't come tonight, it will come tomorrow."
Confucius breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, our army is worry-free, but the general still needs to send more sergeants to strengthen patrols, a day and night have passed, most of Du Bozhi has already surrendered to Liu Biao, if Cai Mao takes the opportunity to attack at night, our army will be caught off guard." ” Lu Meng bowed slightly, "What you see is the same, I have sent an additional battalion of soldiers and horses to patrol the night, and the cavalry scouts will be sent twenty miles away, and there will be no loss." ” Confucian students' faces were full of admiration, "The generals are careful and cautious, and the students are not as good as the students."
Although Lu Meng was young, he also taught at Fangshan Academy.
"Go ahead."
Lu Meng was naturally also praised, but the war was imminent, and he still had a dullness in his heart.
"Whoa."
Confucian raised his hand.
He carried the bamboo pole to the Yangtze River on the sand table, "Our warships are commanded by General Zhou Tai, stationed in Yunmengze, and General Jiang Qin's Chaohu Water Division can arrive at night, when the time comes, our army can reach two hundred and fifty vehicles and ships, and the rest of the large and small warships are thousands, and there are more than 16,000 sailors."
North of the Yangtze River, according to Liu Biao, General Jiang Qin led the army up the river, in order to catch up with the trip, did not cover up, such a momentum, will be detected by the enemy, but Cai Mao's department, did not send troops to investigate, every day, patrol warships along the river, but only in the Yunmengze estuary to inspect. ” "It is a humble guess that the concentration of the naval warships on the south bank is a decoy, and during the day, the enemy army has no less than ten pontoon bridges to transport wounded soldiers and food and grass to and fro, which is enough to cope with it."
Lu Meng bowed slightly, he also considered it like this.
"General, please forgive me for saying that if our army wants to break Liu Biao, it needs to win with a sailor before it can drive straight in."
Lu Meng pinched his chin with one hand, "The lord has ordered that our army's sailors are not allowed to fight without authorization, and I want to come, but I am also worried." ” "Jingxiang Water Division, rampant Yangtze River waterway for several years, building boats, charging boats are also more than our army, must fight, if our army wins, you can also take advantage of the situation to cross the river to the north and attack, attack Nanjun, Xiangyang, if defeated, then lose the Yangtze River waterway, the southeast and north counties of our river, are threatened by Jingxiang."
"However, we must fight, and I am full of confidence in our army's sailors."
Lu Meng's eyes lit up, "If you have any high opinions, it doesn't hurt to speak out." ” "Has the general seen our army's vehicles and ships?"
Lu Meng bowed slightly, "When I led the army to attack Huaibei, I fought side by side with the vehicles and ships led by General Deng Bodang. ” Deng Dang is Lu Meng's brother-in-law, and when he thinks of his name, Lu Meng also misses him very much.
"The general knows the specifications of our army's vehicles and ships" Lu Meng stroked his beard with one hand, "Our army's vehicles and ships take waterwheels as wheels, and there are oars powered at the bottom of the deck, which are twenty-five zhang long, and sea ships are more than thirty zhang, mostly on two floors, and the deck garrison engages in battle, and there are flag soldiers, sentinels, bed crossbows and other equipment on the upper floor, and the speed of the ship is several times that of ordinary building ships, but the troop carrying is the same as ordinary warships."
The chariots and ships engaged the Yuan Shu Sailor and entered the Huai River for the battle, all of which were as powerful as bamboos, but there were only 250 ships, and it was difficult to compete with the Jingxiang Sailor. ” Confucius smiled slightly, "Our army's sailors, if they fight a decisive battle head-on, there should be a fifty percent chance of winning, and if they can oppress them by land, they can increase the chance of victory." ” "Our army took the initiative to attack" Lu Meng's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Then Cai Mao is not an incompetent person, Liu Biao has personally arrived, and there must be Kuai Yue and others to accompany him, I am afraid that there will be precautions early, and they know the landform of Jingnan very well, I am afraid that they can calculate the march of our army without scouts." ” "Jingnan can't do it, why don't you attack Jiangxia," Confucius said with a smile.
Lu Meng suddenly understood, "What you mean by your words, our army uses the naval division to cooperate with the soldiers and horses on land, and attacks on both sides, so that the defenders are caught off guard."
Confucian shook his head slightly, "When I went north, I took the Yangtze River waterway, and saw that there were beacon towers along the river on the north bank. ” Lu Meng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he looked at the Confucian scholar with a bamboo on his face, "Mr. must have a good plan, why don't you tell it all and solve the doubts in my heart." ” Confucius shook his head slightly, "Although there is fog in the morning on the river in the past few days, there is no fog, but this plan needs the right time, place and people, if the lord does not come, it is useless for us to discuss here." ” Lu Meng pointed at him with a smile and a smile, "What you say, I listen to this plan, I am not qualified enough" "No, it's just a dangerous move, in order to take care of the overall situation, you need to be in front of the lord, and you can only make a decision after civil and military affairs."
"It seems that you are in that Fangshan Academy, but you have also listened to a lot of lectures, which professor is this, Mr.
Shuijing, Mr.
Huang, or Uncle of the Ru family?"
Confucius smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is a new compilation of the Art of War, written by Marquis Wu himself. ” Lu Meng fell silent, and at this moment, the sergeant outside the account came to report that Liu Qi had led the army to fifteen miles away.
The two looked at each other, were overjoyed, and strode out of the camp.
"Shiyuan, I heard that the uncle of the Ru family called you the "phoenix chick" in the world, and a "Wolong" and called the world, and said that one person can settle the world, I don't know who the other person is" "Nanyang."
Lu Meng was taken aback, "Could it be that Liu Biaojun is there" Confucian shook his head slightly, "Wu Hou has fought many times, and every time he sends people to go, he has never found any trace of him. ”:
