Chapter 413 Cao Cao turned to attack Jiangxia County

Cao Cao looked calmly at the two people who pleaded guilty. At this time, Jia Xu leaned over and whispered to Cao Cao, "King of Wei, no one thought that the Jiangdong Army was so vicious that it actually fought with three dirty tricks..."

Cao Cao turned his face and looked at Jia Xu, shook his head gently and said, "Jia Jijiu, don't exonerate General Zhang and General Cai... I once said: Soldiers, it's a lie! The tactics that can defeat the enemy are excellent tactics. How can the second army be insidious and noble? ... Throughout the course of the battle of the Second Army, we can't blindly blame the responsibility for the defeat of General Zhang and General Cai! I also made the mistake of underesthe enemy..."

Cao Cao's magnanimity suddenly made Zhang Mao and Cai E burst into tears. Without making a sound, they just kowtowed to Cao Cao.

"Okay, two generals, don't blame yourself so much... You can step back and have a rest!" Cao Cao looked at the two with gentle eyes and ordered softly.

In the attention of everyone, the two of them sobbed and left the military camp. After that, Zhang Liao and others also wanted to leave their seats and plead guilty to Cao Cao, but they were also dissuaded by Cao Cao by waving his hand.

Cao Cao patrolled the crowd, and then said happily, "Guys, although the division is not good and the first battle is lost, we should also clearly see from China that there is a huge gap between the water combat literacy of our soldiers and the Jiangdong Army. Although Jingzhou sailors are well trained at ordinary times, they lack actual combat experience. Although the soldiers under the king are brave and not afraid of the enemy, they are not familiar with water warfare... And the tactics of the Jiangdong Army are surprisingly victorious and flexible. In this case, how can we not lose? ..."

The commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief, and Cao Cao made the situation at that time clear in a few words. At this time, Zhang Liao and others finally understood why their own soldiers did not fight so much. It was not that they were too weak, but that their opponents were too strong and ridiculously strong!

Of course, as a commander-in-chief, Cao Cao took over the responsibility for the defeat. For the same thing, if it were faced by the Yuan brothers, they would only put the blame on others, and even take the opportunity to rectify people who dare to be disrespectful to themselves... How could they be wrong? There is nothing wrong with it. If there is a mistake, where is the authority?

In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't want such authority. In the end, not only the good situation was lost, but also lost his life.

After Cao Cao paused for a moment, he said in a low voice, "After today's war, I feel that without three or five years of hard training, our soldiers can't compete with the Jiangdong army on the water..." Cao Cao's understanding at this time was consistent with Zhou Yu, the governor of the Jiangdong Army. If Cao Cao could recognize this gap before the war, what would he do? Can he accept the result of automatic withdrawal?

When Cao Cao spoke, he remembered the damaged ships and soldiers in his heart. A sense of anger filled his heart in an instant, and his head ached faintly. Originally, Cao Cao thought that 100,000 soldiers could occupy the water military camp of the Jiangdong Army overnight. In Cao Cao's expectation: his own large warships contain the enemy's large warships, and then push the battlefield to the enemy's camp with the help of the wind. At the same time, his remaining large warships are put into the battlefield, forming a state of connection between the beginning and tail, and then laying wooden boards on the large warships. In this way, Cao's soldiers who are not good at water warfare can Through this special pontoon bridge, he went straight to the enemy's camp... So as to defeat the Sun and Liu allied forces overnight with the momentum of thunder.

But what about the actual result? Cao Jun was defeated and unbearable. Cao Cao took a long breath, suppressed his headache, tried to maintain a calm tone, and continued to say to everyone, "Gentlemen, don't be discouraged!" Tomorrow, it will be convenient for me to divide my troops to attack Jiangxia County..."

Jia Xu, Xun Yu and others heard Cao Cao's intention and looked at each other in con'ssinuation. Originally, Jia Xu wanted to persuade Cao Cao to withdraw, but now Cao Cao wants to attack Jiangxia County a hundred miles away. In this way, Jia Xu did not dare to disobey Cao Cao. He could only obey Cao Cao's intention and said, "What the king of Wei said is reasonable. At this time, the troops in Jiangdong are almost concentrated at the Chibi ferry. Presumably, there are not many guards in Jiangxia County..."

As a commander, Cao Cao can naturally see the changes in the situation on the battlefield at a glance: Jiangdong's limited military strength, and Sun Hao, Sun Quan's uncle, led half of the troops to Fuchun County. In this way, judging from the scale of the previous Jiangdong Army's participation in the war, the strength of the Jiangdong Army is almost concentrated in the Chibi Ferry... In this case, this situation It can promote Cao Cao's strategy of "attacking the east and the west".

In the water battle, Cao's army is not the opponent; in the siege battle on land, Cao's army has not failed so far. Cao Cao could still catch the fighter soberly after the sudden defeat.

Everyone agreed with Cao Cao's decision. That night, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other generals led another 200,000 Cao troops to Jiangxia County. Of course, Cao Cao personally guarded the camp in Chibi.

Cao Cao's side adjusted the battle deployment in time according to the changes in the battle situation. And how did the Jiangdong Army deal with it?

When Zhou Yu, Tai Shici, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai drove the small warships back to the camp of the headquarters, thousands of soldiers on the dock and on the shore shouted in unison to welcome their return. Zhou Yu, Tai Shici and others also shouted at the excited soldiers.

Suddenly, Tai Shici felt a familiar atmosphere in the camp of the Jiangdong Army. The breath that can make Tai Shici feel is either his wife or his children. This feeling makes him think: Is it Diao Chan who came here? Isn't Diao Chan taking care of the house in Yunwu Mountain? The battlefield where the swordsmen meet may also be Yan Han or Ma Yunlu. But these two people are not taking care of the children at home? At this time, there is no need for them to show up. The crisis faced by the Jiangdong Army can still be dealt with by men...

Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin and others are naturally in the front row of the team. They smiled one by one to welcome the four fierce generals who returned triumphantly.

Sun Quan had no words, while Liu Bei raised his thumbs up to the four fierce generals and said, "Sure enough, as expected by the Governor of Zhou, Cao's army is indeed vulnerable... The water army of the Jiangdong Army is truly the first in the world..."

Zhuge Liang and others all said nod in agreement. Zhuge Liang has seen the scene of Jiangdong water army training with his own eyes: whether it is training on land or simulation training in ponds, every Jiangdong army soldier is a real knife and a real gun, and his opponent is trained as an enemy... It can be said that after each training, there are seriously injured soldiers. The cruelty of its training is no less than that of boxing and rugby in later generations!

With such intensive training, can the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Water Army not be strong? Zhou Yu warned his soldiers every time: "Without the usual blood and sweat, there will be no victory on the battlefield!" Usually, you are just injured. If there is no iron discipline, cruel training, and the future battlefield, what you lack is not just a leg and an arm, but a life..."

In the face of Zhuge Liang's praise, Zhou Yu accepted it with a smile. When everyone returned to the Chinese military camp, Tai Shici saw two generals coming from the direction of Liu Bei's camp. Of course, others also saw it. Most people know one of Guan Yu, but most people don't know the handsome general with a face like crown jade, red lips and white teeth.

When Tai Shici saw this person, there was a wave in his heart: Isn't that Changshan Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong? No wonder, I sensed that there were acquaintances in the camp on the land... At the beginning, after a fierce battle between Tai Shici and Zhao Yun, each other's true internal forces supported and merged with each other, and entered the innate realm at the same time, so the two had the ability of telepathy.

Tai Shici reminded Zhao Yun through his heart: The two should not be too intimate for the time being... Of course, Tai Shici knew that the reason why Zhao Yun could come to the Jiangdong Army camp must be that Liu Bei asked Sun Zan, the Duke of Youzhou!

After Guan Yu and Zhao Yun met Liu Bei and Sun Quan, everyone walked into the camp. At this time, the wine in the tents of the Chinese military camp was fragrant and the dishes were rich. In order to save time, the meeting and diet were held together.

As the head of one party, after a brief opening remarks, Sun Quan strongly praised the performance of Zhou Yu, Taishici and other generals, and at the same time promised them: first write down their credit on the credit book, and wait for Cao Cao to retreat, and then talk about meritorious deeds...

Naturally, Zhou Yu and others will not be greedy for merit. They put the credit on Zhuge Liang's head: after all, the planning and deployment of the battle are handled by Zhuge Liang, and they are just responsible for the implementation!

Last night, after Sun Quan and Liu Bei met, they decided to raise the flag of Sun Liu's allied forces in the Chibi camp. At that time, Zhuge Liang reminded Sun Quan and Liu Bei: "... If the flag of Sun and Liu's allied forces is raised in Chibi, it will definitely annoy Cao Cao. The angry Cao Cao will definitely command the army to attack us. In this way, we must be ready to meet the enemy at any time..."

The beginning, process and results of the battle were expected by Zhuge Liang: When Zhuge Liang deployed a strategy to respond to the enemy, he asked the Jiangdong navy not to behave neatly and orderly, but to respond to the battle in hastily. At the same time, he asked the Jiangdong army to send two super generals who are familiar with water to disguise themselves as ordinary soldiers and let them lead the water. The excellent sailors pretended to be chaotic and broke into the enemy's fleet, and then the ship was destroyed and people fell into the water. These soldiers had to cut through the bottom of the large warships on the second side of the Cao's fleet under the water... After that, the four building ships of the Jiangdong Army seemed unintentionally and actually intended to surround the large warships in the middle of the Cao's fleet, and finally formed a concentrated superior force to fight. The purpose of the enemy.

Due to the restrictions in the Chibi waters, the two sides can only send four large warships. In fact, the situation of the battle between the two sides was expected by Zhuge Liang: at the beginning of the battle, Tai Shici and Gan Ning dressed up as ordinary sailors. Due to their mistakes, they broke into the enemy's large warships and were knocked over by the enemy's large warships. After falling into the water, they divided into two routes and dived to the two sides of the Cao army's fleet. Tai Shici and Gan Ning are both tough generals in the water. They cut through the bottom of the enemy's large warships. After successfully succeeding, they quickly sneaked to the dock of the Cao army and cut through the bottom of the four large warships of the Cao army ready to participate in the war... At this time, the Jiangdong Army had completed the battle plan: four large warships to deal with the two large warships of the enemy... Finally, they answered the center of the battlefield and blocked the enemy general Zhang in time. Embroidery and Zhang Aju's attack on Jiangdong soldiers.

The battle plan is perfect, and the result is also perfect. While everyone was eating and drinking, Zhuge Jin read the results of the battle between the enemy and us aloud: "... Sun Hou, Uncle Liu, generals, after a day's fierce battle: we damaged ten medium-sized warships, 40 small warships, and 400,000 casualties... Cao's army damaged two large warships and were captured by us. A large warship, 30 of the Cao army's medium-sized warships were damaged and 40 were captured by us. In addition to the destruction, the rest of the small warships of the Cao army also became our trophies; the casualties of the Cao army reached 8,000, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers became our prisoners..."

With such a brilliant record in the first battle, the morale of Sun Liu's allied forces soared, and the fighting spirit soared.
