Chapter 2904 The Battle of Ganyu in the Qin and Ming Dynasties, the Battle of Aoshen and Xiangzhuang (Part 1)
Chapter 2900: Battle of Qin and Ming Dynasty, Battle of Ganyu, Aoshen vs. Xiangzhuang (Part 1)
Facing Zhou Yu's 75,000 naval troops pressing down on the border, Zhu Di not only refused to defend the city, but instead used 7,000 troops to defeat the 30,000 naval troops who had landed.
Is Zhu Di a fool? Of course not. The reason why he did this was mainly because Zhou Yu had the initiative in this battle. Whether to fight or retreat was all up to him. However, he was an extremely smart person, and ordinary tactics could not deceive him.
If Zhou Yu sees no hope of winning, he may withdraw his troops at any time, but Zhu Di has no ability to do so. After all, Ganyu City is only twenty miles away from the seaside.
So, if Zhu Di were to defend the city, he would have 7,000 elite men to defend Ganyu City for a day. Not to mention Zhou Yu's 75,000 navy, even 170,000 would not be able to break the city.
Zhou Yu saw no hope of victory, so he would naturally withdraw his troops.
Therefore, the only way to prevent Zhou Yu from retreating is to give him the possibility of winning the battle, or capturing or killing Zhu Di alive, so that Zhou Yu will not take the initiative to withdraw his troops.
The only way to achieve this goal is for Zhu Di to take the initiative to go out of the city for a decisive battle. Only in this way can reinforcements arrive.
In addition, there is another reason why Zhu Di did not defend and counterattack, and that is that after the Qin navy went ashore to fight on land, although its combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced, the Qin army's siege equipment was still sharp, and its siege ability was significantly stronger than in field battles. ability.
Zhou Yu's navy's water battles>siege battles>field battles, and of the 7,000 infantry and cavalry troops led by Zhu Di, 5,000 were considered elite among the main force, and they were field battles>siege battles>water battles. ;
So, if Zhu Di defended the city, he would be using his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points. However, if he went out to fight in the city, the Ming army would be using his own strong points to overcome the enemy's shortcomings.
As for Zhu Di, after he led his 7,000-strong army out of the city, would he be defeated by the 30,000-strong Qin army that landed?
Zhu Di is not very worried about this. After all, as a strong army that can challenge Wei Ming alone, the Ming army is also extremely powerful. Even if it is not as good as the Qin army, it will not be much different, let alone Zhu Di's seven thousand army. There are still five thousand elite troops.
If he were facing the main force of the Qin army, Zhu Di would not dare to be so bold if he was given three more courages. But this time he faced the Qin navy, and it was the navy that came ashore.
He wanted to explain that the main force of the army was not as powerful as the main force of the Qin army. Zhu Di believed this. After all, Da Qin's equipment was indeed better than Zhu Ming's. However, it was necessary to explain that the main force of the army could not defeat the Qin army's navy in land combat, and he did not believe that Zhu Di could be killed.
The naval army is good at water warfare. If they go ashore to fight, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, even the Qin army will be no exception.
Therefore, even if Zhu Di is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, Zhu Di dares to go head-to-head with Zhou Yu's 30,000 navy troops with 7,000 men. He may not necessarily win in the end, but he will never be easily defeated by the opponent.
“…Now you understand, it’s not that Gu Fei wants to fight, but 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, the decisive battle outside the city was the most dangerous for Zhu Di. As a lord, he was not afraid, so what should he be afraid of as a general?
Moreover, if Zhou Yu is really allowed to withdraw his troops this time, the major cities in the Qingxu coastal area will face attacks from the Qin navy at any time, and the large number of garrison troops stationed in the coastal areas will never be able to escape.
Why can’t the main force on the Qingnan front line stop Su Dingfang and Zhuge Liang? In addition to Zhou Yu's repeated troubles, the main reason was lack of troops.
Zhou Yu only relied on 80,000 naval troops to hold back the 220,000-strong army of Song and Ming Dynasties. If this part of the force was not released, the main force on the Qingnan front line would be unable to withstand it.
So, we must take the initiative to fight this time, and we cannot do without fighting.
Under the command of Zhu Di, seven thousand Ming troops were mobilized, and Ganyu instantly became an empty city.
Outside the city, Zhou Yu, who was about to order the siege, saw a large number of Ming troops leaving the city, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He thought that Zhu Di would take the city and defend it. After all, the difference in numbers between the two sides was too big, and he had even prepared the siege equipment, but he did not expect that Zhu Di would take the initiative to fight in such a disadvantaged situation.
Zhou Yu naturally would not stop this. While letting the Ming army leave the city, he objected to Yi Sunchen and asked, "Ruxie (a nickname of Yi Sunchen), did you miss anything in the exploration of the surrounding terrain? There is really no place suitable for hiding troops." Location?"
“I have informed the Commander-in-Chief that I have sent spies to investigate twice. It is impossible to miss anything. There is no trace of other Ming troops within a radius of fifty miles.” Yi Sunchen replied.
"This is strange. With such a huge gap in troops, Zhu Di dared to go out of the city for a decisive battle. What did he have to rely on? Did he really think that with 7,000 men, he could drag reinforcements to the battlefield?"
Zhou Yu muttered to himself with a puzzled look on his face. After some thinking, he eliminated all the wrong options and got the answer. No matter how bizarre it was, it was still the correct answer.
“Haha, Zhu Di, is your real purpose of using yourself as bait just to prevent the governor from having a reason to leave?”
After figuring out the key, Zhou Yu looked at Zhu Di, who was at the forefront of the Ming army, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Although Zhu Di was the youngest king among all the kings, he succeeded to the throne with his weak title and led the Ming Dynasty, which was in the midst of turmoil, to fight through two wars in the Central Plains, support the tide when it was falling, and save the building when it was about to collapse. It can be seen that he is definitely not the least capable king.
Even Zhou Yu couldn't help but admire such a young emperor who was both civil and military, who dared to fight for the country and took risks.
"Zhu Di, all you can rely on is reinforcements one day later. But if you really think that just these seven thousand people can hold back my army for one day, you are totally wrong."
After saying that, Zhou Yu turned to Jiao Mo and said, "Immediately send an order to Qi Jiguang to send another 10,000 troops to help in the battle."
)
Although Zhou Yu had 75,000 naval troops at his disposal, he could not let all the naval troops go ashore, because if no one was to guard the warships and the enemy troops suddenly came to kill, the landed naval troops would be blocked. On the shore, Zhou Yu was not 100% sure whether the Ming navy would suddenly attack.
Although it was impossible to mobilize all the troops, Zhou Yu felt that 40,000 against 7,000 was more than enough.
Zhu Di led 7,000 Ming troops out of the city. Before they even got into position, he heard the news that Zhou Yu had sent 10,000 more troops, and he suddenly felt the pressure doubled.
When facing the generals under his command, he said that the navy's ability to fight on land would be far inferior to that of infantry, but he actually knew very well in his heart that the land warfare capabilities of the Great Qin navy were not weak. This was true in the war against Japan. has long been proven.
Zhu Di was still confident about fighting 30,000 against 7,000, but he didn't dare to be sure about fighting against 40,000. But now the arrow was on the string and he had no choice but to shoot.
So, even if Zhu Di didn't have much confidence, he could only bite the bullet. Among Zhu Di's 7,000-strong army, 800 were cavalry and 1,500 heavy infantry. On the other hand, Zhou Yu had 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 heavy infantry.
The Qin navy was also equipped with cavalry. Otherwise, how could they maintain mobility after landing operations and make Zhu Di exhausted?
Regardless of the number of troops, troop configuration, or equipment, Zhu Di is at an absolute disadvantage, and the opponent's general Zhou Yu is a leader who has never been defeated, so he knows that he must not fall into the opponent's rhythm in this battle and must fight for it. Only when we take the initiative.
In order to delay time, Zhu Di took the initiative to ask Zhou Yu to answer in front of the battle array, and Zhou Yu naturally agreed happily.
He and Zhu Di have fought many times, but they haven't said a word yet, so he wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Zhu Di and see if he could persuade the other party not to use the mantis as a chariot.
Zhou Yu's Charisma 102 (+3) and Charisma 101 (+5). Both of them are still very young, and both are rare handsome men in the world, so meeting each other in front of the battle now feels like a meeting between two kings.
Zhu Di has a calm personality and an extremely firm will. Naturally, he will not be swayed by Zhou Yu's awe-inspiring words, not to mention that he and Ying Hao still have a grudge for killing their father.
As for Zhou Yu, although he guessed that Zhu Di was stalling for time, he obviously didn't care about such a small amount of time because he had an absolute advantage.
The two sides chatted for nearly an hour, and after realizing that no one could convince the other, they returned to their own formations. At this time, the armies of both sides had already set up their formations, and they only needed the order to start the battle.

…]
The reason why Zhu Di's attribute speed is so fast is mainly due to the tempering of his two Central Plains wars and the Japanese Conquest War, in addition to the effects of Fan Zeng's "Yafu" and "Yongle", which permanently increase his attributes.
Today's Zhu Di, although his basic command is not as good as Zhou Yu's, his command skills have increased more than Zhou Yu's, thus narrowing the gap between the two sides' command attributes to 1 point.
Of course, this is also the reason why Zhou Yu cannot exert the full effect of 'Suicune' in land battles. Although Suicune can also be used on land, it only increases by 1 point.
Zhou Yu originally wanted to go to war with Zhu Di directly, but unexpectedly a general emerged from the Ming army. It was Kang Maocai, a famous general in the early Ming Dynasty.
Facing the provocation of the Ming army, Zhou Yu naturally would not avoid fighting. Seeing that the opponent was not a strong general, he sent his general Zhan Ru.
Kang Maocai has Jiwu 94 and Zhan Rujiwu 96. The latter 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 continuous fighting, Zhan Rucai gained the upper hand, but Kang Maocai still refused to retreat. It was not until the fifty rounds of fighting that Kang Maocai was seriously injured and lacked physical strength, and then he thought of running away, but It's obviously too late.
Kang Maocai had not run very far when he was overtaken by Zhan Ru. He raised his knife and chopped him off his horse, leaving Xiang Zhuang who came to the rescue too late to take action.
Xiang Zhuang was naturally furious when he failed to save Kang Maocai and went straight to Zhan Ru to kill him.
Zhan Ru Slaying General was a little swollen, and he was ready to continue fighting regardless of physical exertion. However, the strength gap between him 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 dampened the morale of the Ming army and boosted the morale of the Qin army. However, he was killed by Xiang Zhuang in one turn, which instead dampened the morale of the Qin army.
Zhou Yu was slightly angry when he saw this, 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 of the Ming army had not moved yet, so he sent Jiao Mo now. If you don't go out to fight, you will definitely fall into the opponent's wheel battle, which will be detrimental to your own side.
As for Ao Shen, although he has not been in the Qin Army for a long time, he is very strong, stable and has great potential, so Zhou Yu naturally has to cultivate him vigorously.
Ao Shen, the third prince of Beihai Dragon Palace in "Shi Gan Dang", actually corresponds to Ao Lie, the third prince of Xihai in "Journey to the West".
Ao Shen was riding a white horse, holding a silver spear, and wearing bright silver armor. Coupled with his handsome appearance, the soldiers on both sides were immediately impressed as soon as he appeared on the stage. They thought that this young general must not be simple.
Xiang Zhuang was also intimidated by Ao Shen's momentum. It was clear that his base was higher than Ao Shen's, but when facing Ao Shen's attack, he did not dare to be careless and fought with all his strength.
Last month’s full attendance mission was completed, and the previously downloaded functions were restored, so I won’t issue wrong chapters in the future.
In fact, the author will post the wrong chapter. The main reason is that it is not finished yet, but there are tasks that have not been completed, so I can only post the wrong chapter first to support it, and then try to find a way to make up for it, and use tomorrow's time to make up for yesterday. of
As a result, there was a strange combination of circumstances. I found that even when there was a missing chapter, I felt a sense of urgency when writing the words, and I could finish writing the entire chapter without interruption.
On the contrary, when there are no chapters missing, lazy cancer patients like the author will get distracted after typing for a long time. They always want to check their mobile phones, watch videos, or reply to WeChat messages.
The author doesn’t know how long it has been since he updated it for a month in a row, so he was able to complete the full attendance last month. Personally, I think the wrong chapter played a certain role in urging me.
