Chapter 2903: The Battle of Qin Ming and Ganyu, Ao Shen Fights Xiangzhuang (Part 1)
Chapter 2900: The Battle of Qin Ming and Ganyu, Ao Shen Fights Xiangzhuang (Part 1)
Faced with Zhou Yu''s 75,000 naval troops, Zhu Di not only did not defend the city, but instead wanted to use 7,000 troops to defeat the 30,000 naval troops that had landed.
Is Zhu Di a fool? Of course not. The reason why he did this was mainly because Zhou Yu took the initiative in this battle, and whether to fight or withdraw was all within his mind. But he was an extremely smart person, and ordinary tricks could not deceive him at all.
If Zhou Yu could not see hope for winning, he might withdraw his troops at any time, but Zhu Di was simply unable to do so. After all, Ganyu City is only twenty miles away from the sea.
Therefore, if Zhu Di was in charge of the city, he would have been able to defend Ganyu City for one day. Not to mention that Zhou Yu had 75,000 naval troops, even 170,000 could not destroy the city.
If Zhou Yu cannot see hope of victory, he will naturally withdraw his troops.
Therefore, if you want to prevent Zhou Yu from retreating, the only way is to give him the chance to win, or to capture or kill Zhu Di alive, so that Zhou Yu will not withdraw his troops on his own initiative.
The only way to achieve this is to Zhu Di take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, and only in this way can he drag the reinforcements until they arrive.
In addition, Zhu Di had another reason for not defending and counterattacking, that is, after the Qin Navy went on ashore, its combat effectiveness would drop significantly, but the Qin army''s siege equipment was still sharp, and its siege ability was significantly stronger than the field ability.
Zhou Yu''s water army''s water battle>siege>field battle, and among the seven thousand infantry and cavalry troops led by Zhu Di, 5,000 are all elite among the main forces, which is field battle>siege>sea battle;
Therefore, if Zhu Di seized the city and defended it, he would instead attack the enemy''s strengths with his own shortcomings. However, if he went out of the city to fight in the field, the Ming army would use his own strengths to defeat the enemy''s weaknesses.
As for whether Zhu Di will be defeated by the 30,000 Qin army after leading a 7,000 army out of the city?
Zhu Di was not very worried about this. After all, as a strong army that could fight Wei Ming alone, the Ming army''s combat power was extremely strong. Even if it was not as good as the Qin army, it would not be much different, let alone 5,000 of Zhu Di''s seven thousand army were elite troops.
If he faces the main force of the Qin army, he would not dare to be so arrogant to Zhu Di, but this time he faces the Qin naval army, and it is also the naval army that has come ashore.
It should be explained that the main force of the army is not as strong as the main force of the Qin army. Zhu Di believes that after all, the equipment of the Qin army is indeed better than that of Zhu Ming, but it should be explained that the main force of the army cannot defeat the Qin army''s naval army, so he does not believe that he will kill Zhu Di.
The navy is good at water warfare. When fighting ashore, its combat power will definitely drop sharply, and even the Qin army will be no exception.
Therefore, even if the number of people is at an absolute disadvantage, Zhu Di dares to fight 7,000 Zhou Yu''s 30,000 navy troops head-on. Perhaps he may not be able to win in the end, but he will never be easily defeated by the other party.
"...Now you understand. It''s not that Gu must fight, but that if he wants to keep Zhou Yu, he must take the initiative."
After listening to Zhu Di''s explanation, all the generals present had no reason to object. After all, going out of the city to fight to the decisive battle was the most dangerous for Zhu Di. As a lord, he was not afraid, so what were he afraid of as a general?
Besides, if Zhou Yu really withdraws his troops this time, the major cities in the coastal areas of Qingxu will face attacks from the Qin Navy at any time, and a large number of defenders stationed in the coastal areas will never be able to escape.
Why can’t the main army on the Qingnan Front stop Su Dingfang and Zhuge Liang? In addition to Zhou Yu''s repeated trouble, the main reason is the lack of troops.
Zhou Yu only relied on 80,000 naval troops to hold back the 220,000 Song Ming army. If this part of the troops was not liberated, the main army on the Qingnan Front would not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, we must take the initiative to fight this time, and we cannot fight.
Under Zhu Di''s command, seven thousand Ming troops were dispatched in full swing, and Ganyu instantly became an empty city.
Outside the city, Zhou Yu, who was about to order the besiege of the city, saw a large number of Ming troops leaving the city, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He thought Zhu Di would seize the city and defend it. After all, the number of people on both sides was too big, and he even prepared the siege equipment, but he did not expect that Zhu Di would take the initiative to fight at such a disadvantage.
Zhou Yu naturally would not stop this. While allowing the Ming army to leave the city, he opposed Li Shunchen around him and asked: "Ru Xie (Li Shunchen''s name is a word), there are any omissions in the exploration of the surrounding terrain. Is there really no suitable location for hiding soldiers?"
"I reported to the Grand Commander, the last general sent a spy to investigate twice, and there was no miss. There was no trace of other Ming army within a radius of fifty miles." Li Shunchen replied.
"This is surprising. With such a big gap in force, Zhu Di dares to go out of the city to fight. What kind of support does he have? Do he really think that with 7,000 people, can he drag reinforcements to the battlefield?"
Zhou Yu said to himself with confusion, and after some thought, he eliminated all the wrong options and got the answer. No matter how bizarre it is, it is still the correct answer.
"Haha, Zhu Di, is your real purpose of using your body as bait just to prevent this governor from leaving?"
After figuring out the key, Zhou Yu looked at Zhu Di, the forefront of the Ming army, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
Although Zhu Di was the oldest king among the kings, he succeeded to the throne with his weak crown and led the Ming Kingdom, which was in a turbulent time, resisted two wars in the Central Plains, helped the tide and the collapse of the building, and it could be seen that he was definitely not the king with the worst ability.
Even Zhou Yu couldn''t help but feel admiration in his heart, such a young emperor who is both civil and military, dares to fight for the country and dares to take risks.
"Zhu Di, your reliance is nothing more than reinforcements in a day, but if you really think that only these 7,000 people can hold up our army for a day, that would be a big mistake."
After saying that, Zhou Yu turned his head and said to Jiao Mo beside him: "Immediately send Qi Jiguang to send another 10,000 troops to help the battle."
"No."
Although Zhou Yu had 75,000 naval troops in his hands, he could not let all naval troops land, because if no one guarded the warships and the enemy suddenly came, the landing naval troops would be blocked on the shore, and Zhou Yu was not 100% sure whether the Ming Dynasty naval troops would suddenly come.
Although all the troops were unable to be dispatched, Zhou Yu felt that it was more than enough to fight 7,000 for 40,000.
Zhu Di led 7,000 Ming troops out of the city. Before he even set up a formation, he learned that Zhou Yu had increased 10,000 troops, and felt that the pressure doubled.
When he faced his generals, although he said that the navy was on the ashore and his combat power was far inferior to that of the infantry, he actually knew very well that the Qin navy''s land combat ability was not weak, which had been proven in the war against Japan.
Zhu Di is sure to win 7,000 and 30,000, but if he wins 40,000, he would not dare to guarantee it, but now the arrow is on the string and he has to fire it. So, even if Zhu Di was not sure, he could only bite the bullet.
Among Zhu Di''s seven thousand army, 800 were cavalry and 1,500 heavy infantry. On the other hand, Zhou Yu had two thousand cavalry and three thousand heavy infantry.
The Qin naval army was also equipped with cavalry. Otherwise, after landing in battle, how could it maintain its mobility and make Zhu Di exhausted?
Zhu Di is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of troops, configuration of troops, and equipment, and the opponent''s chief general Zhou Yu is a leader who has never been defeated, so he knows that this battle must not fall into the opponent''s rhythm and must gain the initiative.
In order to delay time, Zhu Di took the initiative to ask Zhou Yu to answer in front of the formation, and Zhou Yu naturally agreed with this.
He fought with Zhu Di many times, but he still didn''t say a word, so he also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Zhu Di to see if he could persuade the other party not to be a mantised.
Zhou Yu Charming 102 (+3), Charming 101 (+5). Both of them are still very young and are all rare handsome men in the world. So now they meet in front of the battlefield, which makes them feel like they meet with the two kings.
Zhu Di has a calm personality and a very firm will, so he will naturally not be moved by Zhou Yu''s righteous words, not to mention that he and Ying Hao have the revenge of killing his father.
As for Zhou Yu, although he guessed that Zhu Di was delaying time, he obviously didn''t care about such a little time, as he had an absolute advantage.
After nearly a stick of incense, the two sides found that no one could convince anyone, they returned to their own formation. At this time, the army of both sides had already set up a formation, and only the order to start a war was left.
[Dingdong, Zhou Yu''s skill "Shuijun" effect 2 is activated. During land combat, the commander +1 and the force +4 are partially improved.
Zhou Yu: Commander 102 (+3), force 97 (+17), intelligence 98 (+2), politics 95 (+5), charm 102 (+3); equipment +2;
Currently, Commander Zhou Yu has risen to 103, his military strength has risen to 103, and his comprehensive quality of the Qin army''s navy has been partially improved. 】
[Dingdong, Zhu Di''s skill "Yongle" effect 3 is activated, and the commander is +2 when commanding the army. When joining the battle personally, the generals of the army will have a force of +2, and greatly improve the morale and combat power of the entire army.
Zhu Di: Commander 100 (+2), force 100 (+12), intelligence 97 (+3), politics 102 (+2), charm 101 (+3). Equipment +2;
Currently: Commander Zhu Di has risen to 102 and his force has risen to 104;
Chang Yuchun''s force rose to 109;
Chang Mao''s force rose to 110;
Xiangzhuang''s military force rose to 107;
Feng Guosheng''s force...
…】
The reason why Zhu Di''s attribute speed is so fast is that in addition to Fan Zeng''s "Yafu" and "Yongle", the effect of the permanent amplification attributes of these two skills is mainly due to his two Central Plains wars and the battle to conquer the Japanese.
Today, although Zhu Di''s basic commander is not as good as Zhou Yu, his commander''s skills have increased more than Zhou Yu, thus narrowing the gap in commander attributes between the two sides to 1 point.
Of course, this is also because Zhou Yu was unable to exert all the effects of "Shui Jun" in the land battle. Although Shui Jun can also be used on land, it only has 1 increase.
Zhou Yu originally wanted to go to war with Zhu Di directly, but he didn''t expect that a general would break out of the Ming army. It was Kang Maocai, a famous general in the early Ming Dynasty.
Faced with the provocation of the Ming army, Zhou Yu naturally would not avoid the war. Seeing that the other party was not a powerful general, he sent his general Zhan Ru.
Kang Maocai Jiwu 94, Zhan Rujiwu 96, the latter''s strength is obviously stronger than the former, but it is not easy to kill.
The two sides fought back and forth, and after twenty rounds of battle, Zhan Rucai had the upper hand, but Kang Maocai still fought to the death. It was not until the 50th round that Kang Maocai was seriously injured and lacked physical strength. Then he remembered to escape, but it was obviously too late.
Kang Maocai didn''t run far, but Zhan Ru caught up with him. He raised his sword and directly cut him down on the horse, which made Xiang Zhuang, who came to rescue, not even had time to take action.
Xiang Zhuang was naturally furious and rushed straight to Zhan Ru to kill him.
Zhan Ruzhan was a little inflamed, but he was preparing to continue fighting regardless of his physical energy consumption. However, the gap between his strength and Jiwu 104 (+5) was too big, and he was killed by Xiang Zhuang in just one round.
Zhan Ru''s killing of Kang Maocai originally hit the morale of the Ming army and also made the morale of the Qin army rise, but he was killed by Xiang Zhuang in one round, which actually hit the morale of the Qin army.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu was slightly angry and immediately sent Ao Shen to fight. The reason why he did not directly send the strongest Jiao Mo to fight was naturally because Chang Yuchun and Chang Mao from the Ming army had not moved yet. If Jiao Mo to fight now, he would definitely fall into the opponent''s wheel battle, which would be detrimental to his own side.
As for Ao Shen, although he has not been involved in the Qin army for a long time, his opponent has a strong strength, stable character, and great potential, so Zhou Yu naturally needs to train him vigorously.
Ao Shen, the third prince of the Beihai Dragon Palace in "Shigandang", actually corresponds to Ao Lie, the third prince of the West in "Journey to the West".
Ao Shen was riding a white horse, holding a silver spear, wearing bright silver armor, and his handsome appearance made the soldiers on both sides lit up as soon as he appeared on the stage. He thought that this young player must be not simple.
Xiang Zhuang was also intimidated by Ao Shen''s momentum. His Kiwu was obviously higher than Ao Shen, but when facing Ao Shen who was attacking, he did not dare to be careless at all and fought with all his strength.
