Chapter 192: Divide your troops to break the enemy and trap the lonely city


"Brother Qi, although Jiangling City is located in the center of Jingxiang Land, it is a rare strategic location.

"But Gangneung also has Gangneung's flaws, as long as you grasp these Achilles' heels, you may not be able to defeat the rebels."

For a while, Zhou Yu pointed to the map and said with high spirits and pointing.

Hearing this, Gao Qi also quickly moved to the side of the map and observed carefully.

Half a sound, Gao Qi didn't have a clue, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Gongjin, what do you mean by this?"

Immediately, Zhou Yu smiled confidently and said slowly: "Brother Qi, if you look closely, Jiangling is the only fortified city located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. ” "Therefore, it is more convenient for our army to encircle Gangneung City and isolate it."

"Let the city completely lose any contact with the outside world, and become a real isolated city."

For a while, Zhou Yu actually became more and more excited the more he spoke, and his eyes were full of joy.

After a long pause, Zhou Yu said: "The specific operation can be that our army divides troops to expel the rebel forces around Jiangling, and then seize them. ” "Supplemented by a naval army to blockade the Yangtze River and the Qingjiang waterway, completely cut off the connection between the rebel forces in the Jingnan area and Jiangling Xiao Mill."

"In this way, Gangneung will be completely reduced to a real isolated city, so are you afraid that you won't be able to attack the isolated Gangneung at that time?"

In an instant, Zhou Yu's resolute eyes were fixed on Gao Qi, and he solemnly explained his plan and plan.

For a while, Gao Qi finally realized that the plan Zhou Yu said was not the one he used when he fought Cao Ren in Nanjun in history Historically, after the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu led his army across the river to besiege Jiangling, which was to cut off the Cao army forces in various parts of Jiangling to isolate Jiangling.

At this time, Liu Bei led his army into the Jingnan region to achieve the strategic goal of completely isolating Jiangling.

It's just that Gao Qi thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of a new question.

I couldn't help asking: "Gong Jin, your plan is very good, isolate Jiangling." ” "But the biggest problem is that now that our army is equal to the rebels in the city, I am afraid that once the troops are divided, the anti-thief Xiao Mo will go out of the city and attack on a large scale."

"In addition, our army is full of northern soldiers, although the rebel warships have been captured, but the naval soldiers are still not familiar with it."

"In this way, once Xiao Miao's rear Jingnan area naval army comes to help, I'm afraid our naval army is not its opponent."

For a while, Gao Qi raised a lot of problems for this plan.

After all, Zhou Yu's plan is a good plan.

However, everything must be done objectively.

Historically, the reason why Zhou Yu besieged Nanjun dared to divide his troops to attack the armed forces of Cao's army in various places.

The first is that the Eastern Wu coalition army has just won a great victory in Chibi, and the morale of the whole army is not only high, but the Cao army has also suffered heavy losses as a result, and has no choice but to retreat to the north.

At this time, only Cao Ren's troops and horses defended Jiangling, and the strength of the Eastern Wu army had a great advantage at this time.

Second, in the Yangtze River Basin, the navy is the most important.

It just so happened that the most outstanding of the Eastern Wu army was the fierce sailor, so Zhou Yu's plan to isolate Jiangling could achieve a major victory.

In addition, Liu Beijun also led the army to cross the river to attack the Jingnan region at this time, so that it surrounded Jiangling City from the entire river.

This completely turned Gangneung into a real isolated city.

But now, the form that Gao Qi encountered was just the opposite.

At this time, the Yanmen army came from the north from afar, and there was no naval army at all.

On the contrary, Xiao Miao's army was mostly local, although the combat effectiveness of the land was lower than that of the Yanmen army.

But once a naval duel starts on the Yangtze River, I am afraid that even if the Yanmen army captures the rebels' warships, it will not be its opponent.

After all, the gap between the combat effectiveness and familiarity of the water between the non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the navy is too huge.

In addition, the Jingnan area is now the rear of the anti-thief Xiao Milling.

The difficulty is by no means the same It was precisely because of this general reason that Gao Qi hesitated about Zhou Yu's plan.

For a while, Zhou Yu seemed to see through what Gao Qi was thinking, and laughed and said: "Brother Qi, in fact, whether it is the problem of insufficient soldiers or the combat effectiveness of the navy, it is actually very easy to solve. ” "When Brother Qi received the order to go south to quell the rebellion, the holy decree did not mention that the hussar general could control all the garrisons in Jingxiang counties."

"Therefore, as long as Brother Qi now orders the county guards to recruit county soldiers to come to support, how can they not obey?"

"In this way, the problem of insufficient troops can be satisfactorily solved."

"As for the problem of the trolls, it's actually not a big problem."

"Now, although Lai Hu'er, who is stationed in Jiangxia, has led his army to the Yuhang area to resist the invasion of the Taiping army."

"But just in case, Jiangxia still left 20,000 sailors, as long as Brother Qi wrote to explain the reason to the Son of Heaven to recruit this navy."

"Yu believes that with the Son of Heaven's eagerness to quell the rebellion, he will definitely agree."

After a slow conversation, Zhou Yu basically solved the problem raised by Gao Qi in almost a few words.

After a long time, Zhou Yu continued: "Brother Qi, if you can trust Brother Fool. ” "Brother Yu is willing to lead an army across the Yangtze River and sweep the Jingnan region to completely isolate Jiangling City."

In an instant, Zhou Yu swore to Gao Qi to fight.

In this regard, Gao Qidang even agreed.

Because, fighting in the south, there is no more suitable person under Gao Qi than Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is not only a high commander and good at using troops, but also has excellent wits and is good at tricks.

And the most important point is that Zhou Yu's ability to lead the naval army is almost the existence of the generals of Yanmen.

Although Zheng Chenggong's water fighting skills are not bad, after all, the commander is too low.

Leading an army into the hinterland of the rebels' rear to fight, without any logistical supplies and reinforcements, I am afraid that it will not be able to support the encirclement and suppression of the rebels at all.

It must be known that Xiao Mill's army not only has 90,000 troops in Jiangling, but also has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jingnan County, which is in the hinterland of the rear.

Therefore, looking at the generals of Yanmen, only Zhou Yu is competent to lead the army to cross the river and attack all parts of Jingnan.

Of course, Gao Qi's habit is also to convene the generals and strategists to discuss first.

Immediately, Gao Qi revealed Zhou Yu's plan and discussed it.

In the end, with unanimous deliberation and agreement, Gao Qi personally formulated a plan to cross the river and attack the Jingnan region with Zhou Yu as the main general.

Subsequently, Gao Qi wrote several handwritten letters and sent them to various places.

One is Yang Guang, the son of heaven, who needs the support of the Jiangxia Navy.

The remaining handwritten letters were sent to each county of Jingxiang, ordering the local officials to gather soldiers and go to the camp to listen to orders.

For a time, the battle of Gangneung rose to a height.

This battle, which was about the battle between the two armies, is now so confrontational.

In the past few days, Gao Qi has arranged for generals to train sergeants in the camp every day, and Zheng Chenggong has trained sailors on the Yangtze River.

Gangneung Fortress was not forcibly attacked at all This abnormal scene made Liang Wang Xiao Mo puzzled.

The great chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
