Chapter 1639: Race to Julu
Chapter 1637: Race to Julu
This confrontation between Zhu Tianpeng and Zhou Yu can be regarded as the first naval battle in Chinese history.
The chief generals of both sides are the top naval commanders, and the lower-level soldiers are not inferior to the southern water soldiers. It should be a wonderful naval battle in theory.
However, under the epoch-making water weapon of the Qin army and the flying stones of the catapulted boat, even Zhu Tianpeng, who had 100 commanders, had no choice but to avoid his sharp edge and flee in a panic as soon as the war started.
In the end, the Qin army suffered only a small number of casualties, but destroyed most of the Qi army''s warships. Only more than 1,000 people left in the Qi army fled back to Qi. Zhou Yu''s battle was a complete victory.
"Report... General Zhou Yu defeated the Qi army, and Zhu Tianpeng led only more than a thousand remaining troops and fled back to Qi in a panic."
After hearing this news, Li Jing was no exception. Instead, he asked, "Why are there only Zhu Tianpeng and Wang Mang?"
"Wang Mang''s whereabouts are unknown and he has not met with Zhu Tianpeng."
"Huh? Have you gone to find Liu Che? He is really bold."
Li Jing frowned. He was extremely determined to get rid of Wang Mang. This man''s ability to cause trouble is too strong. If he doesn''t get rid of it, he will be a disaster for a day.
Seeing that Wang Mang did not go to Qi State, Li Jing instinctively thought that he must have returned to Northern Han, but he never expected that Wang Mang would go to harm the foreign race.
This time, in order to get rid of Wang Mang, Li Jing did not hesitate to let Zhou Yu expose the catapult ship, but he still failed to get rid of Wang Mang and Zhu Tianpeng.
It is conceivable that such a water battle weapon as a catapult ship was exposed to all the princes at once, and in the future, the princes with naval forces will definitely be imitated by the Qin army. By then, this great advantage of the water battle of the Qin army will no longer exist.
“It’s not worth it, it’s not worth it.”
Li Jing also felt that this deal was a bit of a loss, but there was no way. Who made the Chinese people like to imitate in their bones? They were born with the genes of copycats.
"Forget it, Liu Che will deal with him."
Li Jing shook his head and no longer thought about Wang Mang. He immediately ordered: "Immediately, Zhou Yu is sent to the order. Although the battle in the Beihai has ended, Qingbei has not yet fallen into the hands of our army. The navy still needs to work hard, so don''t go back first.
Zhou Yu was appointed as the main general, commanding 10,000 navy troops, 15,000 defenders in the Beihai, totaling 25,000 troops, to wipe out the four counties in Qingbei as soon as possible and unify Qingbei. ”
Qingzhou originally had two counties and four countries, but now, with the newly established Liangshan County, there are a total of seven counties.
Among the seven counties in Qingzhou, three counties south of the Yellow River occupy: Donglai, Qi State, and Pingyuan, all belong to Qi State.
Four counties are occupied north of the Yellow River, namely: Beihai, Liangshan, Jinan and Le''an.
Now there are no defenders in the cities of Liangshan County, and Jinan and Le''an, owned by Yuan Shao, have basically been evacuated.
Let’s put it this way, the four counties in Qingbei are now in a state of vacuum except for Beihai, and it is easy to send troops to attack at this time.
The generals of Beihai were shocked when they heard this. They fought hard for so long to achieve the current good situation in Qingbei. How could they give the credit for this to others?
"Sir, let Zhou Yu lead the army to conquer the other three counties, then what are we doing?" Taishi Ci stood up and asked.
"Yeah yeah…"
The generals of the Beihai Group agreed one after another.
"You naturally have more important tasks."
Li Jing looked at the generals with a funny look and said, "The whole army obeys the order, target Julu, and set sail immediately."
Hearing this, the generals immediately understood that when they conquered the three counties of Qingbei, which had few soldiers, they would not have made great contributions to entering the battlefield in Hebei. The prefect was indeed smart. Why is Li Jing so hard in Qingzhou? Isn’t it just to counterattack Hebei and become the key to winning the battle in Hebei? Only by achieving such credit can he catch up with Bai Qi.
Now that he has finally achieved his goal, Li Jing certainly cannot continue to stay. Wasting time for the three counties with few defenders is the most important thing for him to counterattack Hebei.
The reason why he chose Zhou Yu instead of his generals was mainly because Li Jing also knew that most of his subordinates were reckless men and did not know how to use his brain in wars, and he would only be tough.
Although there are not many defenders in the three counties now, there are still thousands of them. Li Jing is afraid that his subordinates will choose to attack, which will only increase casualties in vain.
Although Huang Feihu has the ability to command troops, Li Jing does not know him well enough, but Zhou Yu is different.
Zhou Yu had been training in the army very early, with a strong and soft style in the army, and both wise and brave. He was a rookie in the army who was very optimistic about by the lord. It was almost no difficulty for Zhou Yu to conquer the three counties with only thousands of defenders.
Another point is that Zhou Yu is Bai Qi''s disciple, and Bai Qi has the kindness to support Li Jing, so even if Bai Qi still has a favor, Li Jing should also provide appropriate support to Zhou Yu.
Of course, Li Jing also knew that Zhou Yu had no powerful generals, and conquered the three counties of Qingbei and needed generals to attack the city, so he left the five tiger generals of Liangshan, as well as Jintai and Shi Wengong to Zhou Yu.
Li Jing left all the affairs of Qingbei to Zhou Yu, and he personally took the 30,000 elite troops who had just won and most of the strong generals in the army, preparing to rush to Julu to assist Su Dingfang.
Lian Po used 80,000 Zhao troops to fight against Su Dingfang''s 125,000, which was under great pressure.
At this time, if a group of elite soldiers of tens of thousands suddenly came from behind, you can imagine what kind of shocking changes would happen in the Julu battlefield.
On the other hand, Zhou Yu was also shocked when he received Li Jing''s order, because this was simply giving him credit. However, when he really took over the affairs of Qingbei, he realized that it was not as relaxed as he thought, because there were nearly 40,000 prisoners of war waiting for him to arrange it.
In the Beihai victory, the Qin army captured nearly 40,000 enemy troops, and the captives even exceeded the total force in Zhou Yu''s hands. If one is not handled well, it will even lead to a disaster.
Zhou Yu also realized that the problem of prisoners must be solved first, so he carried out the reorganization of prisoners before starting to recover the three counties.
In the end, Zhou Yu led a 25,000 army and the 40,000 prisoners of war reorganized after the chaos, and in less than half a month, Zhou Yu captured all the ten counties in Jinan, nine counties in Le''an, and eleven counties in Liangshan, and a total of 30 counties.
At the same time, Qin Hao from Huguan finally received the battle statistics from the system.
[The Battle of the North Sea officially ends, statistics begin...
The Battle of the North Sea lasted for three months, starting from the attack on Liangshan by the three infantry and cavalry armies and ending the Battle of the Yellow River at the mouth of the sea, including:
In the battle between the three infantry and cavalry and water armies, they killed 11,000 enemies, captured 22,000, and damaged 1,000;
The battle of the Qi army flooding the Yellow River, killing 45,000 enemies and 4500 damage to themselves;
The fire attacks and blocks the road in the battle, killing five thousand enemies;
In the battle of Ran Min''s fall, he killed five thousand enemies and lost three thousand himself;
The Beihai defended the city and fought, killing one thousand enemies, and losing two thousand five hundred of them;
The Beihai victory was a great victory, killing 20,000 enemies, capturing 10,000, and losing 10,000 to himself;
After two victories, two pursuit battles were killed, one thousand and one hundred enemies were captured, and five hundred were damaged by themselves;
According to statistics, Li Jing wiped out a total of 150,000 enemies, including 88,000 enemies, 62,000 prisoners, and 26,000 losses to himself.
Excluding casualties, a total of 1,240 summoning points will be rewarded, and the host currently has a total of 3,740 summoning points. 】
[The Battle of the North Sea involved more than 200,000 people before and after, and the battle standards have been reached.
The loss ratio of this battle was 5.7:1. However, considering that Li Jing alone fought against the six princes and fought between the 160,000 troops, he finally won 150,000 enemies. The difficulty of winning was huge, so he was still given an SSS score, and the reward was: a golden summoning card. 】
