- "Chen Shuai!"
"Chen Shuai!"
¡°I¡¯ve met Chen Shuai!¡±
"Chen Shuai, Liu Shijun, Cao Shijun and Wu Hou are all waiting in the tent!"
"I see!"
Nodding towards the soldiers who came to report the news, Chen suddenly picked up the helmet on the table and put it on his head, strode out of the commander's tent, and went to the Chinese army's meeting tent.
In March of the fifth year of Jian'an, the three armies of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Jiangdong finally assembled near Jiangxia and Xiakou. The remaining allied forces were the Xiliang Army led by Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the Hanzhong Army led by Zhang Lu and Zhang Baiqi. The army and Baibo Huangjin also sent troops out of Shangyong and Nanyang respectively. In addition, Liu Zhang, the governor of Xichuan, also appointed Zhang Ren as commander and led 40,000 elite troops out of Badong.
By April, the local coalition forces had been assembled respectively. However, in general, the main battlefield was still in the area from Jiangling to Jiangxia. As for the remaining troops, they could only serve the purpose of containing Zhang Susu's army at best.
Everyone is waiting for a signal. Once the Battle of Chibi begins, Jingzhou will be besieged by local princes and forces from the east, west, south and north. This is what Liu Bei and Zhang Baiqi have been planning for more than a year. of combat.
But even so, Liu Bei and Zhang Baiqi did not dare to draw conclusions about the victory or defeat of this battle. After all, the victory of the alliance army depends on whether they can defeat Zhang Susu's main force in Jingzhou after the Battle of Chibi. To say the least, As long as this main force can be held back until Xiliang, Hanzhong, Xichuan and other reinforcements capture Jingzhou and cut off Zhang Susu's escape route, Zhang Susu's situation will obviously become quite difficult.
But conversely, in the Battle of Chibi, Chen Chang's side could not cause huge casualties to the main force of Zhang Susu's troops. What's more, if they were to be defeated instead, even if the Xiliang, Hanzhong, and Xichuan armies caught up, their deaths would be in vain.
The key to it all. In this battle of Red Cliff!
"General Chen!"
" Seemingly noticing Chen Suan stepping into the Chinese army commander's tent, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others stood up to greet him.
"Sorry, I'm a little late!" After hugging his fists and apologizing to the generals in the tent, Chen suddenly walked to his seat and sat down.
As the last all-general meeting before the Battle of Chibi, the huge Chinese army tent was actually overcrowded at the moment. It was hard to imagine that the civil servants and generals of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan were all in one place. The three forces that were originally divided between the enemy and ourselves were able to sit together calmly to discuss the situation of the war.
Seeing everyone gathered, Xun You, the chief military advisor of the coalition forces, stood up and described the current battle situation to everyone present.
"Look, everyone. Not counting Zhang Susu's direct troops, the main cavalry and infantry of the Wei army have gathered in Hanyang, Wulin, and Shiyang areas. The front army is led by General Zhang Liao, with a total of 80,000 troops, and the rear army is led by General Zhang Liao. Zhang Zha and Gao Lan are the commanders, with a total of 100,000 troops and horses. In addition, there are 200,000 original Jingzhou navy led by Cai Mao, totaling nearly 400,000 troops and horses"
????????????????????????????????????????????? He continued, "Looking at our army, with the combined efforts of Liu, Cao, and Sun, we can gather 180,000 troops. Therefore, in terms of military strength, there is a huge gap between the enemy and us"
Although all the generals sitting here knew that soldiers are more important than large numbers, no one brought this matter up. The reason is very simple, that is, the soldiers under Zhang Susu are not just a motley crew, but elites who have been on the battlefield for a long time. The troops, especially the Qingzhou Army and the Pingnan Army, were the main force that Zhang Susu used to conquer Jingzhou in one go.
There is no advantage in quality, nor in quantity. It must be said that this battle is quite difficult.
"If it hurts morale, just skip it. Military Advisor Xun will tell you how to deploy this battle!" As the nominal commander-in-chief of this battle, Chen Ran took the lead in speaking.
"Well," Xun You nodded after hearing this, and then said, "My idea is this. Chen Shuai will lead the generals of the White Army to block the Wei army's direct offensive, and then invite two generals as flankers to lead the navy to attack separately. Wulin and Shiyang then abandoned their ships and landed ashore, directly attacking the Wei army's grain garrison in Hanyang" As he spoke, he glanced at Guan Yu and Gan Ning, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Do we still need to divide our troops under this situation?" Liu Bei frowned when he heard this, and Cao Cao across from him also showed a bit of worry.
Seeing this, Xun You cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Commander Liu has learned clearly that the art of war is to achieve victory through righteousness and surprise. Moreover, because our army is insufficient in strength, we have to divide our forces. I believe that even if all 180,000 troops and horses are deployed, It is also difficult to defeat the 400,000 Wei troops in Chibi. Instead of doing this, it is better to hide the two armies' surprise troops and win by surprise!"
"But in this case, the pressure on our White Soul Army will be even greater" Sun Shangxiang said with a frown.
"This" Xun You smiled bitterly when he heard this and said awkwardly, "Princess Mingjian, there really is no other way"
"Brother, what do you think?" Sun Shangxiang asked Sun Cedao.
Sun Ce, who had not said a word from beginning to end, slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Xun Gongda is a famous person in the world, and what he said must be true, but"
He didn¡¯t say anything further, but everyone already understood.
What Sun Ce wanted to say was whether the Baiyi Army could withstand the Wei army's offensive. If the Baiyi Army was defeated by the Wei army that was several times larger than his own at the beginning of the attack, even if Guan Yu and Gan Ning could successfully conquer the Wulin and Shiyang areas, they would then surprise and burn the Wei army. Granary, I'm afraid it won't help either.
Seeing that everyone present was looking at him, Chen Suan frowned, thought for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "If we act like this, how many soldiers and horses will be left on the battlefield across the river?"
"Well," Xun You thought for a moment and said honestly, "about 120,000"
"One hundred and twenty thousand" Chen suddenly sighed after hearing this.
The difference in military strength
What a disparity!
"Just do it!"
The generals present were shocked when they heard this.
Three days later, Guan Yu and Gan Ning successively led a partial division, preparing to attack Wulin and Shiyang in a roundabout way. However, the main force of the coalition forces stationed in Jiangxia received a letter of invitation from Zhang Susu, agreeing to attack at Chibi at noon the next day. war.
On March 26, the fifth year of Jian'an, the Wei army and the Allied Forces of the Three Kings gathered on the Yangtze River. Looking around, the river was full of warships, large and small, densely packed. Like ants and locusts.
There is no so-called bitter plot, and there is no burning fire. Both sides show all their strength in front of the other party. After all, Zhang Susu is not Cao Cao. This woman has a more thoughtful mind and a deeper city. How can she be brought into submission by a superficial plan?
It was a good weather. Although it was not a clear sky, at least it would not be affected by the war.
However, despite this, Xun You, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Fazheng and others did not dare to slack off at all, after all, with Zhang Susu's strength. It is easy to change the celestial phenomena. For this reason, they are prepared as much as possible once Zhang Susu uses magic to change the celestial phenomena. It will be stopped immediately.
Regrettably, there are only five volumes of the Heavenly Book in the hands of the coalition forces, and the second volume of the Earthly Book is still in the hands of Zhang Susu's counselor Guo Jia, which makes them somewhat unconfident about whether they can stop Zhang Susu's sorcery.
But having said that, that¡¯s it. They have no other choice but to bite the bullet.
We can only pray for God¡¯s mercy
"It's a pity that the way of heaven is currently on Zhang Susu's side"
have to say. Although the war is imminent, the soldiers on the coalition side. But he had some doubts about whether his side could win the final victory, even. Even Sun Shangxiang was slightly shaken.
No wonder, after all, the Wei army's quantity, quality, and equipment are almost all superior to those of the coalition forces. It is really unfavorable to win under such unfavorable circumstances.
Perhaps feeling a little breathless due to the pressure before the war, Sun Shangxiang walked out of the cabin, stood on the deck and took a few deep breaths.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel something. She turned her head and was surprised to find Chen Suan leaning on the railing of the bow, looking at the river in the distance with blurred eyes.
"What are you doing?" Sun Shangxiang walked over gently.
Perhaps because he noticed Sun Shangxiang, Chen suddenly turned his head to look at her, then looked at the river in the distance and murmured, "Isn't it spectacular?"
Following Chen Suan¡¯s gaze, Sun Shangxiang looked at the Wei army boats that looked like mountains in the distance.
For some reason, she vaguely felt that Chen Suan was in a low mood, especially the heavy sadness in Chen Suan's eyes, which made Sun Shangxiang feel very uncomfortable.
Taking a deep breath, Sun Shangxiang stood next to Chen Su with his back against the railing of the boat, deliberately showing a look of disdain, and said sarcastically, "I can't believe that Chen Fenwei, who was galloping on the battlefield and killing people like crazy, can still be afraid! "
"Afraid?" Chen suddenly glanced at Sun Shangxiang in shock, then chuckled, "Maybe! - I'm just an ordinary person, it's normal to be afraid!"
"But are you really afraid?" Sun Shangxiang said in a strange tone.
"" Looking at Sun Shangxiang, Chen suddenly fell silent.
Ah, actually she understands, but she doesn¡¯t want to mention it
After a period of silence, Sun Shangxiang bit his lip and whispered, "I don't care what happened in the past, but now, you are the head coach of my White Eye Army"
"I know" Chen suddenly nodded and asked in a low voice.
Listening to that low voice,Shang Xiang felt an inexplicable feeling surge in her heart. She raised her head and looked deeply at Chen Ran.
"real?"
"Ah!" Chen suddenly nodded, stretched out his hand to rub Sun Shangxiang's hair, and then walked to the other side of the boat.
Sun Shangxiang did not follow him. After looking at Chen Ran's leaving figure, he angrily kicked a small piece of wood on the boat into the river.
She knew that Chen Ran needed some time, and he needed some time to sort out his relationship with Zhang Susu.
"Is it so worth your while to remember, that Zhang Susu"
She muttered to herself.
In the past, Sun Shangxiang always thought that Chen Ran was a ruthless person. It was not until she got acquainted with him that she realized that this man was perhaps the most affectionate man in the world, but his affection was not understood and accepted by ordinary people. .
¡°Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo¡¡± At some point, three horns sounded from the other side of the river.
That was the signal that the Wei army was preparing to fight, and it was also the signal that the war was about to begin.
As the real commanders of this battle, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan immediately issued orders for the entire army to be on alert.
No wonder, after all, as the most powerful god of war in the coalition, Chen Ran cannot stay in the Chinese army forever. Both he and the White Eye Army under his command will be the key to this battle.
"The enemy is attacking!" In the exclamation of a Jiangdong soldier, among the countless boats of the Wei army, about twenty large ships left the fleet. Heading towards the coalition forces, in addition to this, there were hundreds of small boats.
"What's the banner?"
Cao Cao asked with a frown.
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier squinted his eyes and watched. He exclaimed in shock, "Lv character flag!"
"L¨¹ Bu?" Cao Cao took a deep breath after hearing this. After looking at Liu Bei and Sun Quan, he shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Quickly send the order to the Baiyun Army to the military command ship!"
"No!"
Not long after, an order came from the rear army's main ship where Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were, and it went directly to the Baiyun military order ship where Chen Su was.
"Is it finally going to start?" Looking at the boats approaching in the distance, Chen suddenly took a breath. He said in a deep voice, "Send orders to the generals of the White Army to kill them!"
"drink!"
Accompanied by the sound of beating drums, the commander aboard the White Army's commander's ship where Chen Chang was was immediately conveyed the message of attack to the surrounding warships.
"I'll go with you!" Sun Shangxiang said hurriedly when he saw Chen Suan put on his armor.
Chen suddenly glanced at Sun Shangxiang when he heard this. He said in a deep voice, "You, stay here!"
"Why? I can also go into battle and kill the enemy!" Sun Shangxiang said unconvinced, but as soon as he finished speaking, Chen suddenly shrank and disappeared. Then he appeared on Zhao Yun's ship a hundred steps away from this ship.
?Perhaps this is the real reason why Cao Cao and Liu Bei appointed Chen Ye as the coach of the White Army. After all, Chen Ye's martial soul and greedy wolf ability can effectively support their own generals.
To put it bluntly, the White Army is actually an elite army whose main purpose is to snipe the opponent's generals. But in this way, the generals of the White King Army will inevitably fall into the embarrassing situation of fighting alone. In this way, Chen Ran's existence becomes extremely crucial. After all, he is the only one here who can freely travel to and from any ship, and at the same time, he can support his subordinates who are trapped in the enemy's siege, and can even use the [Sirius] move to take them out of the trap.
In fact, he is a key role that can connect all the generals of the Baiyi Army.
Of course, this also depends on the martial arts of the generals of the White Army. As candidates for sniping enemy generals, they must have excellent martial arts and be able to fight alone until Chen Chang comes to support them. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Damn it!" Sun Shangxiang stamped her feet bitterly when she saw Chen Suan abandoning her without saying a word.
The soldier next to him saw this and asked cautiously, "Deputy Commander, what should we do?"
Under the frightened gazes of the soldiers around him, Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly and said in a somewhat annoyed tone, "What are you still doing? Why haven't you sent an order to generals Han, Huang, Cheng, etc., and told them to cover our White Army?"
"Yes Yes¡¡"
While Sun Shangxiang was venting his anger on the soldiers, Chen Suan had successfully arrived on the boat where Zhao Yun was.
"Chen Shuai!"
Zhao Yun, who noticed Chen Su, hugged him.
"Hmm!" Chen suddenly nodded, and after glancing at the approaching Wei Jun boat, he said in a deep voice, "I leave it to you, Lu Bu, to hold him back as much as possible!"
"yes!"
At onceAt this time, Zhao Yun's boat and Lu Bu's boat were getting closer and closer, but with a roar, the two warships collided with each other, and then the soldiers on both sides burst into a burst of shouts that resounded throughout the sky.
"kill!"
As the commander of this battlefield, Zhao Yun immediately jumped onto the opponent's ship, connected the silver spear in his hand, and stabbed more than a dozen enemy soldiers to the ground in the blink of an eye.
"Humph, are you my opponent?" With a cold snort, Lu Bu appeared in front of Zhao Yun holding the Fangtian Painted Halberd. After looking around, he frowned and said, "I seemed to have seen Chen Ye just now. Where are the others? ?¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the warship next to him. Lu Bu turned around and saw Chen Suan smashing the mast of the ship with one punch. Then he shouted loudly, holding a dragon halberd gun and hitting the ship plank at his feet. With a fierce slash, he heard a cracking sound, and the entire warship was cut in half by him.
Under Lu Bu's slightly surprised gaze, Chen suddenly looked back at him, then used his ability to shrink and disappeared, and then reappeared on another warship.
"This guy" Lu Bu didn't understand why, but just when he was about to pursue Chen Chang, Zhao Yun took a step forward and blocked him.
"I'm sorry, Zhao cannot let Wen Hou hinder Chen Shuai!"
""
I have to say that it would be unrealistic to stop the Wei army's 400,000 naval troops with only 120,000 troops. Even the White Army, which gathered elite soldiers from three parties, could not do it. After all, even if they could kill the captain on the ship, they would not be able to do it. What to do with those soldiers? You know, too many ants can kill an elephant, let alone on the river without even touching the ground.
There is no doubt that once they are accidentally forced into the river, except for Jiangdong generals like Taishi Ci and Ling Tong who are familiar with water properties and can escape, others like Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others may not be able to survive. Although they have The power of the God of War.
Therefore, Chen Suan came up with a brilliant idea before the war, which was to let Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and others resist the warrior-level warriors in Zhang Susu's army, and let him use his hands to destroy the Wei army's ships.
Ah, there is no need to confront the opponent head-on. Chen Ran only needs to destroy the boat under their feet. Of course, only Chen Ran can do this kind of thing. After all, his martial soul Greedy Wolf can make him reach There is no need to fear that all the places within his sight will be submerged along with the destroyed boats.
Even if you accidentally fall into the water, you don¡¯t have to worry about it. After all, Chen Chang¡¯s proficiency in water properties is as good as that of Jiangdong generals.
And with the strength of Chen Changwu God, it is obviously not easy to cut off a boat
"Cang!"
Suddenly, the dragon halberd gun in Chen Ran's hand got stuck in the hull of the ship when it hit it. Only then did he discover that some of the boats in the Wei army had their hulls wrapped in iron sheets.
"Damn it!"
Cursing secretly, Chen suddenly shouted and used the dragon halberd gun in his hand to cut off the iron-wrapped boat in half, but at the same time, he also spent a lot of energy.
Before the boat under his feet was about to sink, Chen suddenly took a look at the thickness of the iron sheet. After frowning deeply, he shrunk and disappeared without a trace.
It seems that it is not that easy
