Chapter 1639 Rushing to the rescue of the giant deer
Chapter 1637: Rushing to the rescue of the giant deer
This confrontation between Zhu Tianpeng and Zhou Yu can be called the first naval battle in Chinese history.
The generals on both sides are the top naval commanders, and the lower-level sergeants are no worse than the southern navy soldiers. Logically speaking, it should be a wonderful naval battle.
However, under the Qin army's epoch-making water weapon, the flying rocks of the catapult, even Zhu Tianpeng, who had 100 points of commander, had no way to do it. As soon as the battle started, he was forced to avoid its sharp edge and flee in embarrassment. .
In the end, the Qin army suffered only very few casualties, but destroyed most of the Qi army's warships. Only a thousand Qi soldiers fled back to Qi. Zhou Yu could be said to have won this battle.
"Report...General Zhou Yu defeated the Qi army. Zhu Tianpeng only led a thousand remaining troops and fled back to Qi in embarrassment."
After hearing the news, Li Jing was no exception at all. Instead, he asked: "Why are there only Zhu Tianpeng and Wang Mang?"
“Wang Mang’s whereabouts are unknown and he did not meet up with Zhu Tianpeng.”
“Huh? Are you going to find Liu Che? You are really bold.”
Li Jing frowned. He was very determined to get rid of Wang Mang. This man's ability to make trouble was too strong. If he didn't get rid of him, he would be in trouble.
Seeing that Wang Mang did not go to Qi, Li Jing instinctively thought that he must have returned to the Northern Han Dynasty, but he never thought that Wang Mang was going to harm the foreigners.
In order to get rid of Wang Mang this time, Li Jing did not hesitate to let Zhou Yu expose the catapult, but he still failed to get rid of Wang Mang and Zhu Tianpeng.
It is conceivable that if a water warfare weapon such as a catapult is exposed to all the princes at once, it will definitely be imitated by the princes with water armies in the future. By then, this major advantage of the Qin army in water warfare will no longer be available. exists again.
“It’s not cost-effective, it’s really not cost-effective.”
Li Jing also felt that this transaction was a bit of a loss, but there was nothing he could do about it. The Chinese people love to imitate and are born with the gene of copycats.
"That's all, Liu Che will take care of him."
Li Jing shook his head, no longer thinking about Wang Mang, and immediately ordered: "Immediately send an order to Zhou Yu. Although the Beihai war is over, Qingbei has not yet fallen into the hands of our army, and the naval force is still needed, so don't go back yet." .
Appoint Zhou Yu as the chief general, commanding 10,000 naval troops and 15,000 defenders in Beihai, totaling 25,000 troops. They will wipe out the four counties of Qingbei as soon as possible and unify Qingbei. "
Qingzhou originally had two counties and four kingdoms. Now, including the newly established Liangshan County, there are seven counties in total.
Among the seven counties in Qingzhou, three counties are occupied by the south of the Yellow River, namely: Donglai, Qiguo, and Pingyuan, all of which belong to Qiguo.
Four counties are occupied to the north of the Yellow River, namely: Beihai, Liangshan, Jinan, and Le'an.
Now there are no defenders in the cities in Liangshan County, and Jinan and Le'an, which are owned by Yuan Shao, have basically been drained of their troops.
Let's put it this way, today's four Qingbei counties, except for Beihai, the other three counties are in a military vacuum. At this time, it is almost effortless to send troops to attack.
The generals in Beihai were all shocked when they heard this. They had worked hard for so long to achieve the great situation in Qingbei now. How could they give the credit to others?
“Master Taishou, let Zhou Yu lead the army to conquer the remaining three counties. What are we going to do?” Tai Shici stepped forward and asked.
"Yeah yeah…"
The generals of the Beihai Department agreed one after another.
“You naturally have more important tasks.”
Li Jing glanced at the generals in a funny way and said: "The whole army listens to the order, target the giant deer, and set off immediately."
Hearing this, all the generals immediately understood that conquering the three counties of Qingbei, which had few soldiers, would not be as great as entering the battlefield in Hebei. The prefect was really smart. Why is Li Jing working so hard in Qingzhou? Isn't it just to counterattack Hebei and become the key to victory in the battle of Hebei? Only by achieving such achievements can he catch up with Bai Qi.
Now that he has finally accomplished his goal, it is certainly impossible for Li Jing to stay and waste time for the three counties with few defenders. For him, the most important thing is 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 men were reckless men who did not know how to use their brains in fighting and would only fight hard.
Although there are not many defenders in the three counties now, there are still several thousand. Li Jing is afraid that his men will choose to attack by force, which will only increase casualties in vain.
Although Huang Feihu was capable of commanding troops, Li Jing didn't know him well enough, but Zhou Yu was different.
Zhou Yu has been in the army for a long time. His style of commanding troops is both strong and soft, and he is wise and courageous. He is a rookie in the army that the Lord is very optimistic about. It is almost not difficult for Zhou Yu to conquer the three counties with only a few thousand defenders.
Another point is that Zhou Yu is a disciple of Bai Qi, and Bai Qi has a favor for Li Jing, so even if he repays Bai Qi's favor, Li Jing must help Zhou Yu appropriately.
Of course, Li Jing also knew that Zhou Yu did not have strong generals, and to conquer the three counties of Qingbei, he needed generals to attack the city, so he left the five tiger generals of Liangshan, Jintai and Shi Wengong to Zhou Yu.
Li Jing left all the affairs of Qingbei to Zhou Yu, and he personally led the 30,000 elites who had just won the victory, as well as most of the strong generals in the army, and prepared to rush to Julu to assist Su Dingfang.
Lian Po's 80,000 Zhao army faced off from Su Dingfang's 125,000, so he could have shouldered this huge pressure.
At this time, if an elite force of 30,000 suddenly came and attacked from behind, one can imagine what kind of shocking changes would happen to the Julu battlefield.
On the other side, Zhou Yu was also shocked after receiving Li Jing's order, because it was simply giving him credit. However, when he took over Qingbei's affairs, he realized that it was not as easy as he thought, because it was not as easy as he thought. There were nearly 40,000 prisoners of war waiting for him to arrange.
In the Beihai Dajie, the Qin Army captured nearly 40,000 enemies in total, and the captives even surpassed the total strength of Zhou Yu's hands. One of them could not handle it and even causing a big disaster.
Zhou Yu also realized that the problem of prisoners must be solved first, so he first reorganized the prisoners and then began to recover the three counties.
In the end, Zhou Yu, with an army of 25,000 and an army of 40,000 prisoners of war reorganized after the chaos, took less than half a month to conquer ten counties in Jinan, nine counties in Le'an, and eleven counties in Liangshan, a total of three counties. All ten counties were captured.
At the same time, Qin Hao in Huguan finally received the battle statistics from the system.
【The Battle of the North Sea is officially over, statistics have begun...
The Battle of Beihai lasted for three months in total, starting from the attack on Liangshan by the three armies of infantry, cavalry and water, and ending with the naval battle at the mouth of the Yellow River, including:
In the battle of attacking Liangshan with three armies of Bu Qi Shui, they killed 11,000 enemies, captured 22,000 prisoners, and suffered 1,000 losses to themselves;

According to statistics, Li Jinglin and Linlin annihilated a total of 150,000 enemies, including 88,000 enemies killed, 62,000 captured, and 26,000 self-inflicted losses.
Deducting casualties, a total of 1240 summoning points will be awarded. The host currently has a total of 3740 summoning points. 】
【The Battle of the North Sea, involving more than 200,000 people, has reached the standard of a battle.
The battle loss ratio in this battle was 5.7:1. However, considering that Li Jing’s army faced six major princes and fought among an army of 160,000, and finally managed to annihilate 150,000 enemies, it was extremely difficult to win, so the SSS score is still given. The reward: A golden summoning card. 】
