Seven hundred and thirty two seasick Zhang Liao
The long coastline can be landed everywhere in an era without the concept of coastal defense.
Looking around, there are breakthroughs everywhere, which is in sharp contrast with the very tight defense along the Yangtze River. There is no population on the coast of Wujun.
However, it should have been a very smooth surprise attack, but there was an interesting little episode because of Zhang Wenyuan's seasickness.
"Impossible...Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This general is vomiting...I have trained sailors on the boat...Impossible..."
Zhang Liao lay on the deck and stretched out his head to pour out his despair towards the blue sea.
He was actually seasick!
"General, this...sea boats are very different from inland boats. The bumps of sea boats are more than inland boats, so... when I started training sailors at the end of the year, I was actually seasick, but it doesn't matter, just land."
Taishici helped Zhang Liaoshun.
Zhang Liao was sure that he must be in a very embarrassed right now, so he was too embarrassed.
The most embarrassing time of Zhang Wenyuan was when he surrendered to Guo Peng. But even at that time, Zhang Wenyuan maintained his demeanor. How could he be like now...
Zhang Liao felt that he was about to spit out all the food he had eaten.
Not only Zhang Liao, but those non-professional sailors, although they all know how to water, about one-third of the soldiers still had seasick symptoms, and everyone was pouring out their despair, resentment and dissatisfaction into the sea.
"No, you have to land as soon as possible. If you continue like this, if you don't die on the battlefield, you will die of a ship...don't vomit..."
Zhang Liao couldn't even say anything, and continued to express his despair and shame.
Fortunately, the journey was not far away, and when Zhang Liao was about to be unable to hold on, the navy guide had already led the navy to the coast of Wujun.
"After landing here, the two generals are more than ten miles west of Lou County in Wujun. We are very familiar with this road."
The guide pointed out the road clearly, and Zhang Liao was relieved, so he issued an order to log in.
Taishici immediately commanded the navy soldiers very professionally to assist those non-professional soldiers to start landing. One by one, one by one, and one by one, approached the coast, transporting troops, war horses, and supplies, in an orderly manner.
Zhang Liao and other seasick generals and soldiers were the first to land. When they were down to the ground, Zhang Liao took a deep breath and breathed in big mouthfuls of air on the land. He felt that the air on the land was much sweeter than the ones on the sea.
I feel like I am reborn.
Life is so beautiful!
Zhang Liao couldn't help but yell three times.
Of course, he still held back and immediately commanded the soldiers who came ashore to form a military formation, began to recruit the enemy, and investigate the enemy situation.
The landing lasted from morning to evening before it ended. At this time, Zhang Liao had already set up a temporary camp on the shore, and it was initially confirmed that within four or five miles there was no man's land and there was no people. The Wei army could safely build a camp here as a forward base.
While continuing to explore westward, the Wei army discovered several villages. According to the guide, it was estimated that you could see Lou County by continuing to go westward, which was the target of the attack.
At present, there is no trace of exposure of the Wei army's attack, and there is no trace of the Wu army nearby. The main force of the Wu army is still fighting against the main force of the Wei army by the river. This is their defensive vacuum zone.
"In this way, the demise of Wu is right in front of you."
Zhang Liao showed a confident smile.
The advantage of the large number of Wei soldiers is reflected in this way. The main force of the Wu army can be restrained from the front and an attack can be launched on the side. This is a fatal blow to the Sun Wu regime.
That night, the Wei army rested on the coast for a night. The next morning, Zhang Liao and Taishici presided over a military meeting and analyzed the situation of the observation of the sentry and searched for the night.
They took out the Jiangdong topographic map drawn by the Linzi Camp spy for comparison and then made strategic plans.
"Ziyi, we don't need to divide our troops for the time being. After we capture Lou County, we will attack Wu County, take down Wu County, and save the Gu clan first. By the way, the relatives of Sun's family are all in Wu County. Zhou Gongjin thought Wu County was the safest, so we will take down Wu County first."
Zhang Liao said, "After taking down Wu County, let's go north together, and then divide the troops. You go north to Dantu, take over Zang Xuangao's army, and then guide Wu County with Zang Xuangao."
Before the war, through intelligence, Zhang Liao and others learned that the Sun family's relatives and many generals' families were arranged to live in Wu County. The Sun Wu regime regarded Wu County as the rear and believed that Wu County was absolutely safe, so they took such actions.
Zhang Liao and others decided to carry out a surprise attack to capture all the families of senior political leaders and military generals of the Sun Wu regime in order to reduce their will to resist.
Zhang Liao also assigned a task to Taishi Ci, mainly to conquer the Dantu, let Zang Ba cross the river, and then to guide Wujun with Zang Ba.
Taishici immediately received the order.
"The last general is in charge of the order, is the general going directly to Moling?"
"Yes, I will take a group of people and go straight to Moling."
Zhang Liao smiled and said, "The king wrote to me that we should capture the king first by capturing the thief. As long as we destroy Moling, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are captured, the resistance of Wu will naturally end. By then, everything will be clear. Our army should not lose too much in Jiangdong, and there will be more things to do later."
Taishici nodded.
The elimination of the Sun Wu regime was the first step to pacify Jiangdong. The Sun Wu regime's control over Jiangdong was mainly concentrated in the plain area north of the Hangzhou Bay line, along the Yangtze River, and further south, it was Shanyue and some local indigenous peoples.
Pacifying Sun Wu is only the first step to pacifying Jiangdong. They need to continue to go south and control the vast Kuaiji County, Yuzhang and Luling County, which covers a vast area.
Along the way, they will encounter a large number of Shanyue Group and other indigenous peoples, as well as a more terrifying miasma. They have to face a primitive scenery, and the road to conquest will never be easy.
After the discussion was completed, Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci began to act, rectify the army, and headed all the way to Lou County.
Lou County, which is in the rear, obviously never entered a state of war because of the war. It was like martial law across the city. In fact, the scale of mobilization in ancient times was relatively low. There were many cases of war fighting in the front, but there were many cases of being drunk and dreaming in the rear.
Lou County will not be drunk and dreamy, but normal life will not change. As a rear county, it is impossible to arrange many troops to be stationed. Even if Guo cannot arrange a large number of troops to be stationed in every city, it is even more impossible for Wu State.
In fact, except for a few important towns and border areas, a large number of prefectures and counties do not have regular troops. If there is a showdown, with such a vast territory as China, a million-scale regular troops are not enough, and the imperial finances cannot support it.
Most county towns have some yamen runners, and some places have garrison soldiers. Three or five hundred people are extremely powerful, and more than a thousand can be considered a major city.
Therefore, the concept of driving ten thousand soldiers will not be outdated. That is, after breaking through the enemy's main defense line, you can run rampant with 10,000 soldiers and horses in the enemy's hinterland, ignoring the defense of most cities, and basically there is no city that can't be captured by 10,000 troops.
So Mr. Guo was also very concerned about the battle in Hefei at the time.
Sun Ce has no chance to defeat him at all. If something happens and Sun Ce wins, he must immediately withdraw his troops from Guanzhong and return to the heartland of the Central Plains.
By then, before he led the main force back, Sun Ce's army could run rampant in the Central Plains, Wuji pointed to wherever he pointed.
