Fancheng, after the fire was extinguished, the Qin Kai camp stationed troops in this city, facing Xiangyang across the river.

Li Xiuning's Xuanjia Army brought the captured Lian Po over.

However, Lian Po did not lower his head easily and refused to surrender.

Qin Kai didn't care either. After winning the Battle of Chibi, Lian Po's loyalty would decline, and it would no longer be difficult to recruit Lian Po.

Qin Kai summoned many counselors to discuss the next step.

"On the surface of the Han River, the coalition forces of the princes have many warships. It is not easy for us to forcefully cross the Han River. There are millions of troops in Xiangyang on the opposite side, and a few soldiers and horses forcefully cross the Han River. It is just a moth flying into the flames."

Jia Xu pointed to the various signs on the map and advised against attacking Xiangyang.

Xun You said: "It is better to take advantage of our troops and horses on the ground, capture Lujiang from the north, capture Chaisang from the south, and advance by water from the east to attack Jingzhou. Once the Xiangyang defenders divide their forces to support Lujiang and Chaisang, then

Our army from Fancheng marched southward and conquered Xiangyang and Jiangling in one fell swoop."

Zhang Liang added: "Even if the Xiangyang garrison does not divide its troops to defend Lujiang and Chaisang, the navy can still threaten Jiangxia and Jiangling. The ships we build in the Han River can also go south to join the Jiangdong navy. In any case, the coalition of princes will be

The passive side.”

"You have made a good analysis. Our advantages are cavalry and infantry. We should make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses."

Qin Kai thought of the rat-sucking overlord occupying Jiangdong, which was a very important step.

Qin Kai's army can move part of the army to the territory of the Rat-sucking Overlord, and then attack the cities of the coalition of princes from the land, complementing the navy.

"A group of generals led troops along the north of the Yangtze River to attack the Lujiang River."

"A group of generals will lead troops along the south of the Yangtze River to attack Chaisang and conquer these two cities in one fell swoop. This will allow our navy to march to Chibi without any worries."

Qin Kai recognized the strategies of several counselors and decided to maximize their strengths and avoid weaknesses, giving full play to the advantages of cavalry and infantry.

The rat-sucking overlord was depressed.

Isn't this exactly his plan?

Originally, the Rat-sucking Overlord planned to advance by water, conquer Lujiang and Chaisang, and open the road to Jingzhou. However, the Rat-sucking Overlord was not strong enough. He met Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, and was defeated by Xiang Yu, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu, leaving behind his armor.

Qin Kai wanted to re-implement the Rat-Sucking Overlord's plan, but this time with the support of Qin Kai's troops, the success rate of the Rat-Sucking Overlord's plan skyrocketed.

"I was defeated by Xiang Yu last time. I have to regain my position this time. I will fully cooperate with you and use the 500,000 reserve troops I have reserved in Wu County and the 1.2 million navy."

With the support of Qin Kai, the Rat-sucking Overlord really doesn't fear Xiang Yu anymore this time.

Fancheng, which Xiang Yu defended personally, was still captured by the Qin Kai camp's coalition forces. No matter how powerful Xiang Yu's personal force was, he was unable to recover.

"However, you still need to be careful in everything. During the attack on Lujiang and Chaisang, the troops stationed in Fancheng will defend with all their strength."

Qin Kai began to transfer some of his troops to Jiujiang County in batches to join the troops of the Rat-sucking Overlord in preparation for taking Lujiang again.

Lujiang is an important area, and the Rat-sucking Overlord has used his reserve troops this time. It can be said that he is trying to sell iron.

The Rat-sucking Overlord came to take revenge with his mighty troops and horses. This time, the coalition of princes could not defend Lujiang, so they simply abandoned the city, reduced their forces with all their strength, and decided to fight in Chibi.

In addition, the Rat-Sucking Overlord also easily captured Chaisang City this time, truly opening up the waterway to Jingzhou.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy. I would have known better not to attack Lujiang without permission. Joining forces with Qin Kai to capture the city is as simple as eating and drinking."

The Rat-Sucking Overlord muttered that his previous 900,000-strong army was gone.

If we act together with Qin Kai, we may not know who will win or lose in the last battle of Lujiang.

"It seems that the coalition forces of the princes are planning to shrink all their forces and want to fight to the death in Chibi. The warships of Sun Jian's force, Liu Bei's force, and Yuan Fang's force are all concentrated in the area from Dongting Lake to Chibi."

Qin Kai knew that the allied forces of the princes had abandoned Lujiang and Chaisang at this time, not because they had no troops to defend, but to save every bit of force and concentrate all the remaining forces to fight Qin Kai in Chibi.

Qin Kai couldn't ask for it either.

His current naval strength is not necessarily inferior to that of the coalition of princes.

If we can annihilate the main force of the coalition of princes in one fell swoop in the Battle of Chibi, we can unify the Three Kingdoms region at the same time.

If the coalition of princes cannot win in Chibi, then when Qin Kai annexes Jingzhou, there will no longer be a place for the coalition of princes.

Yizhou and Liangzhou alone could not withstand Qin Kai's tens of millions of troops.

After Qin Kai occupied Chaisang, Liu Rengui, Lu Xun, Gonggong, Li Shunchen and other naval generals commanded 2 million Qingzhou Navy and joined the 1.2 million Jiangdong Navy of the Rat-sucking Overlord.

Seeing the scale of the Qingzhou Navy, the Rat-Sucking Overlord couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "I didn't expect that your family was so rich, and you could accumulate such a large navy in one go, even more than my Jiangdong Navy."

Already."

Qin Kai just smiled.

He occupies so much territory and has a large population within the territory, so it is not difficult to send out troops.

Qin Kai conquered the Kingdom of Koryo and also absorbed part of the navy of the Kingdom of Koryo. Therefore, the number of Qin Kai's navy was greater than that of Jiangdong's navy, and his military commanders were not inferior to Jiangdong's military commanders.

Liu Rengui was the sea god of the Tang Dynasty, who violently defeated Japan, Lu Xun was one of the four major governors of Jiangdong, Gonggong was the water god in mythology, and Yi Sunchen was a famous naval general of Goryeo.

On the Jiangdong Navy side of the Rat-sucking Overlord, the general Han Shizhong was a famous general who fought alongside Yue Fei to fight against the Jin people. The Navy once trapped Jin Wushu.

Dong Xi, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, these generals who were supposed to be Sun Jian and Sun Ce's forces, were defeated by the Rat-Sucking Overlord first.

The shark warriors commanded by Gonggong have gills on their bodies and can dive for long periods of time. They are one of the mythical arms.

In order to hide the trump card of Water God Gonggong and the shark warriors he commanded, Qin Kai erected curtains around the building boat they were riding on, preventing the scouts from seeing clearly what generals and troops were inside the building boat.

"Hehe, although you have recruited a larger navy, I, the Rat-sucking Overlord, am not an ordinary person. I will give you a surprise when the Battle of Chibi comes."

The rat-sucking overlord patted his chest.

Although he was violently beaten by the genuine Xiang Yu not long ago, it still did not affect the confidence of the Rat-Sucking Overlord.

He's a rat-sucking overlord, and he doesn't just get beaten!

"What's your trump card?"

Qin Kai was a little surprised.

The Rat-Sucking Overlord seems unreliable, but he always stands on his side without causing any trouble. Maybe at the critical moment of the Battle of Chibi, the Rat-Sucking Overlord can really come up with some trump cards to help Qin Kai win.

.

"Please allow me to show off."

The Rat-Sucking Overlord doesn't show his cards easily.

Since the rat-sucking overlord had his own plans, Qin Kai didn't ask any further questions.

"Report! Lord, the coalition forces of the princes have abandoned Xiangyang, Jiangling and other places, and the army is gathering towards Chibi, Wulin, Xiakou and other places!"

"Report! Soldiers and horses from Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou and other places are being continuously sent to Jiangxia County and Changsha County!"

A scout flew to report the latest situation in Jingzhou.

Player leaders such as Qin Kai, Rat-Sucking Overlord, Xiaoman, Ji Qianxue, etc. looked at each other with stern expressions.

Judging from the trend of the princes' coalition forces constantly abandoning cities and shrinking their forces, the princes' coalition forces have gathered all their chips together and are definitely going to have a go at it.

The coalition forces of the princes were suppressed by Qin Kai one after another. They were like gamblers eager for a comeback. They wanted to win. If they win, they can at least get three points of the world. They also have the opportunity to expedition to the north of the Central Plains. If they lose, the coalition forces of the princes will have no chance of a comeback.

Hope, can only choose to surrender.

This is a huge gamble with the world as the bet!

"The day has finally come."

The coalition of princes cannot afford to lose and wants to make a desperate move. This is also an opportunity for Qin Kai.

"The soldiers and horses from Fancheng went south, occupied Xiangyang and Jiangling, and then the naval forces from Fancheng and Xinye went south, from Han River to Xiakou, and met at Red Cliff."

Qin Kai decided to accompany the coalition of princes to make a huge gamble to determine the ownership of the world.

For some powerful generals and units, even if they reach the water, their strength will be reduced, but there are many powerful generals and elite units that cannot withstand Qin Kai, and there is no shortage of famous navy generals.

The coalition of princes wanted to rely on the superiority of the navy to win the Battle of Chibi, so it can be said that they made a wrong calculation.

The 3.2 million navy manned tens of thousands of warships, large and small, and sailed upstream. Tens of thousands of boats fought to cross the river. The sails covered the sky and the sun, and the weapons of the navy soldiers glowed with cold light.

In addition to the 3.2 million navy, there were more than one million cavalry, infantry, and archers attacking from the land along the south bank.

In the direction of Jiangling, millions of infantry, cavalry, and archers were dispatched, as well as a million naval forces coming down from the upper reaches of the Han River. They joined Qin Kai and the Rat-sucking Overlord, allowing Qin Kai and the Rat-sucking Overlord to have more naval forces.

4.2 million, the number of warships exceeds 100,000!

Qin Kai stood on a three-story boat and looked at the countless warships and soldiers on the river. The river wind blew and his blood was surging.

Such a large-scale naval force was the reason why Qin Kai was confident of fighting the allied forces of the princes in a decisive battle at Chibi.

Qin Kai did not choose the iron rope and boat like Cao Cao, and there was no need.

The Rat-sucking Overlord's Gangdong Navy, Ji Qianxue's Qingzhou Navy, and Yi Sun-shin's Goryeo Navy. These are all serious naval arms. When they fight on the river, their military power is not only weakened, but also improved.

Qin Kai checked the generals panel of each general. If it were not for Liu Rengui, Li Shunchen, Lu Xun and other generals who were good at water warfare, their strength would have generally dropped by 1 to 15 points.

And naval generals like Yi Sun-shin have the general characteristic "Water Warfare Mastery". When fighting on the water, their force is +3, and their basic force reaches 112.

Due to the influence of the "Water God" characteristic, the mythical general Gonggong has a force of +10, and the base force has reached 130.

As the force of force increases and decreases, the famous naval generals gain the upper hand in water battles.

When fighting on the water, neither Ran Min nor Gao Chong nor Tong Yuan could defeat Gonggong.
