Chapter 2906: The Battle of the Four Kingdoms in the East China Sea, Yu Long, Qi Hu and Yu Dayou (Part 2)
At this time, in the southeast of Donghai County, a certain sea area of ??the East China Sea, the long-awaited Three Kingdoms naval forces of the Wei, Song and Ming Dynasty were rushing towards Ganyu City at full speed.
This large naval fleet consists of 85,000, consisting of the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, with a total of nearly 600 large, medium and small warships, including:
The Ming army had 40,000 waters. The main general was Yu Dayou, who was known as Yu Long and Qi Hu in the Ming Dynasty, and was known as Yu Long and Qi Hu together with Qi Jiguang. The two deputy generals were Deng Yu, one of the six dukes of the founding country in the early Ming Dynasty, and Tang He, the only founding hero who had no dispute that he could have a good ending;
The Song army had 35,000 naval forces, the main general was Zhao Guangyi, the Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, and the two deputy generals were Shi Shouxin and Pan Mei, the founding generals of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Even the Wei State, which had the weakest naval force, did not hesitate to empty the family and gather 10,000 naval troops, and handed over to Su Hu to join the war, while the deputy general was Cao Cao''s confidant Li Dian.
Yu Dayou is naturally not as good as Deng Yu and Tang He in status. These two veterans left over from the Zhu Yuanzhang period, but his talent in water war was the leader of the Ming army, so he was promoted to the governor of the navy by Zhu Di.
As for Zhao Guangyi, he didn''t want to come at first, but Zhao Kuangyin was worried that when he led the troops outside, his good brother would cause trouble internally, so he simply asked him to lead the navy to fight outside to fundamentally eliminate the possibility of Zhao Guangyi causing trouble.
From this incident, it can be seen that Zhao Kuangyin has become a guard against Zhao Guangyi. Although he does not believe that his younger brother would betray him, Sun Wu''s Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers were fratricidal due to the inheritance of the throne, which also forced him to be vigilant. After all, no matter how close he and his younger brother were, they were not as good as his son''s kinship, and it was impossible for him to give in to the throne.
As for Zhao Guangyi’s ability to fight in the water? Zhao Kuangyin didn''t care much about this. After all, the Ming army is the main one anyway, so Zhao Guangyi only needs to manage and cooperate with the Ming army well.
After feeling the distrust of his brother, Zhao Guangyi was shocked and angry, and he had to put away his thoughts he shouldn''t have. At the same time, he was even more cautious and did not dare to make any small moves.
As for the Wei army''s chief general, Su Hu, Cao Cao would use him again. First, Cao Wei had no generals available, second, to appease the emotions of the internal generals, and third, Su family is small in Qiao County, and he is not afraid that Su Hu will rebel regardless of the family''s small family.
To be honest, the 85,000 naval troops in front of us cover 80% of the combat power of the Three Kingdoms in the Central Plains on the water. If the loss is too great, the Three Kingdoms Alliance will not have any power to deal with the Qin naval troops.
This is also the main reason why Zhu Di played conservatively before, but now he is willing to take risks with himself, because he has no capital for trial and error.
Among the 75,000 Qin naval troops that are fighting, forty thousand are dragged by Zhu Di to Ganyu, and the vitality floating on the sea is only 35,000.
Once the coalition reinforcements arrive, the situation can be imagined. After all, even in order to buy time for retreat for the army on the shore, the Qin army at the sea must fight and have to fight 35,000 to 85,000. The coalition forces have both soldiers and ships above the Qin army.
It has to be said that Zhu Di sacrificed a lot in this battle. He relied on gambling to gain an advantage for the coalition forces. He didn''t know whether the Three Kingdoms Navy was successful and seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
At this time, on the main ship of the Three Kingdoms coalition forces, Yu Dayou, the chief general of the Ming army, was anxiously urging the Wei and Ming armies to accelerate the march.
The monarch was in danger and was most anxious about it. Therefore, the Ming army was also the fastest among the large ships, and even had the slightest attitude of throwing away the Wei and Ming armies.
It is precisely because of this that Yu Dayou had to come and urge him. After all, if the Ming army arrived and the Wei and Song armies were behind, the Ming army alone could not defeat the Qin army.
Unlike Yu Dayou who was in a blazing manner, Zhao Guangyi said calmly: "General Yu, I know you are very anxious, but don''t worry first."
Hearing this, Yu Dayou was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but when he thought of Zhao Guangyi''s identity, he still patiently advised: "It''s not that I''m impatient, but that time doesn''t wait for anyone. If my lord is captured or died in battle because we can''t catch up, no matter how you fight, Qingxu will be defeated in the battle. It''s better to surrender to the Qin army as soon as possible."
Yu Dayou tried his best to make the consequences serious, and wanted Zhao Guangyi to feel a little urgency.
Zhao Guangyi also knew that Yu Dayou was right, but he didn''t believe that Zhu Di would not have a backup plan, so he really put it to death and died, so he still said slowly: "The order to accelerate the navigation has been issued. It''s useless to urge me now. Why not urge the Wei army? Their marching speed is not as fast as that of our Song army."
Hearing Zhao Guangyi say this, looking at the other party''s expression, Yu Dayou knew that he was not lying, and he was secretly relieved. As for urging Wei Jun? There is no need to do that, because the Wei army''s attitude was much more active than the Song army, and the slower speed was just because the warships were relatively backward.
Seeing that they were about to arrive in Ganyu, the main generals of the three naval forces of the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties gathered together to discuss how to deal with the upcoming naval battle.
"What else can I discuss about this?"
Zhao Guangyi looked at everyone and said with a proper look: "The Qin naval army on the sea is only 35,000 now, and the remaining 40,000 are on the battlefield. It is too late to return in such a short time, but our army has 85,000, and it is enough to crush it directly with absolute military strength."
Although Zhao Guangyi is a little unrestrained in normal times, his words are rough and not rough. With such a huge military advantage, there is no need to mess with tactics and just crush them directly.
However, for the sake of stability, Yu Dayou still made a tactical arrangement, that is, to allow the faster 40,000 Ming troops to circumnate to the northern part of the Qin army, and then followed the 45,000 Wei and Song navy in the south to launch a joint attack on the Qin army.
I have to say that Yu Dayou is worthy of being a famous general of a generation. With absolute military strength advantages, he still has no slackness. If he fights normally, he will naturally win, but unfortunately his opponent this time cannot be judged by common sense.
As soon as Yu Dayou''s order was issued, new information came from the front line.
"Report to the general, the 35,000 Qin naval army took the initiative to kill our army, and the one that was hung was Zhou Yu''s banner."
"What? How is this possible?"
Hearing this, the generals present were shocked, and obviously they did not expect the Qin army to take the initiative.
If the Qin army does not attack and fight in the near-sea, once the Qin army is defeated, it will be relatively convenient to withdraw the troops by relying on the coral reefs along the way. At most, the vitality will be severely damaged and the entire army will not be wiped out.
But once Zhou Yu takes the initiative to fight in the deep sea, once he is defeated, it will not be so easy to withdraw his troops, and there will even be a risk of annihilation of the entire army.
No one here thought the coalition would lose. After all, the coalition forces had too great advantages and there was no possibility of losing. Yu Dayou pondered for a while and asked, "Whose flag was the Qin army slapped?"
"I reported to the general, I raised the banner of the word "Zhou".
Hearing this, Zhao Guangyi took a deep breath and said, "Hiss, it turned out that Zhou Yu led his army to come. Didn''t he go ashore to surround the Ming King?"
"Zhou Yu is also going to take the risk of annihilation of the entire army than to capture and kill the Ming King."
After saying that, Su Hu looked at Yu Dayou with a serious face and asked, "General Yu, besides us, the King of Ming should have other reinforcements? If not, it would be meaningless for us to win this battle."
Although Yu Dayou was not sure, he still pretended to be relaxed: "General Su doesn''t have to worry about my king. Since my king dares to take risks, he will definitely be sure to escape unstoppable. We just need to defeat Zhou Yu''s Daqin naval army."
Hearing this, Su Hu nodded and said, "That''s good."
At the same time, Zhou Yu was looking at the south with a serious face at the bow of the main ship of the Qin Navy. Although he could not see the coalition troop, he knew that he would see it soon.
Just recently, news of the coalition navy was about to arrive, which made the Qin generals extremely unwilling.
Zhu Di was trapped in Ganyu City, and only 1,700 remaining troops were left under his command. He could wipe out all of them in at most two hours, but the coalition navy was about to arrive in one hour.
No one wants to spit out the fat meat in his mouth, but it is a dream to win by just 35,000 to 85,000.
With a thought, the Qin generals, including Qi Jiguang, thought Zhou Yu would definitely order a retreat, either let Zhu Di fight with all his strength or withdraw his troops directly.
But what the Qin generals did not expect was that Zhou Yu not only did not withdraw his troops, but also asked Qi Jiguang to replace him and continue to siege and kill Zhu Di. He led 35,000 navy troops and took the initiative to fight against the 85,000 coalition forces under an absolute disadvantage.
"Qi Jiguang, Zhu Di has only 1,700 people left, and this governor has left you with 27,000 troops. You must capture and kill Zhu Di within two hours, and then come to support you." Zhou Yu said with a serious face.
Qi Jiguang immediately said, "Promise."
He didn''t think this task was difficult. After all, Zhu Di only had such a small amount of troops left, and nearly half of the people were injured, so it was more than enough to solve the problem in two hours.
"But Governor, is it too risky to fight the 85,000 naval forces with only 35,000 naval forces in the coalition? "
Qi Jiguang expressed his concerns. If the coalition naval forces were all new recruits, he would naturally dare to do this, but the coalition forces obviously were not. So he felt that Zhou Yu was a bit too risky to do this, and if he was not careful, he might be seriously injured.
Zhou Yu heard this and showed a cold feeling at the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "If the war starts near the sea, even the governor dares to win, but the deep sea may not be sure."
As soon as this statement was made, all the generals present were shocked, and Qi Jiguang was even more shocked and said, "What? Governor, you are going to fight the coalition navy in the deep sea area?"
Zhou Yu nodded: "That''s right, the deep sea is full of wind and waves and the naval battle is difficult, which can narrow the gap in the number of troops and warships."
"But this is too dangerous. If you are not careful, our army may be severely damaged."
Qi Jiguang said worriedly, but there were more serious consequences he had not yet said, that was the risk of annihilation of the entire army, and even if he could capture and kill Zhu Di, he would not be able to lead his army back to Qingdao Port.
There is also Zhou Yu, who studied under Bai Qi, who has always been a stable soldier style, but now he has to take such a big risk, and he is obviously forced to a dead end.
Qi Jiguang guessed right. Zhou Yu was indeed forced into a dead end, but he was willing to take such a big risk for this. First, he was sure to block the United Navy in the deep sea area, and second, it was naturally because of Zhu Di.
In any case, Zhou Yu couldn''t spit out Zhu Di''s fat piece that was so fat that he could not spit out.
"Even Zhu Di dares to sacrifice his life, why should we cherish our lives?"
As he said that, Zhou Yu patted Qi Jiguang on the shoulder and said seriously: "If this governor is not wrong, Zhu Di''s backup plan will definitely be more than the navy army. There may be a reinforcement army on the land, so you only have two hours.
Two hours later, no matter whether you can take Zhu Di or not, you must retreat, otherwise once you are entangled by Zhu Ming reinforcements on the land, you will never be able to return to the sea. ”
Faced with Zhou Yu''s advice, Qi Jiguang nodded solemnly: "I will understand it."
"Qi Jiguang, whether our army wins or loses in this battle depends entirely on you."
After saying that, Zhou Yu returned to the fleet without looking back, and then took on the burden of ten times more difficult than siege and killing Zhu Di, and took the initiative to lead 35,000 naval troops to kill the joint naval troops in the southeast.
"Grandmaster, the number of coalition naval warships is nearly 600, while our army only has two hundred, and the gap in strength is too big." Cai Mao said worriedly.
Zhou Yu raised his head and stared at the sky, gradually turning black, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "The sea will help us narrow the gap."
