Chapter 3620 The dragon traps Yunmengze, the dragon comes out of the lunar rain

At the mouth of Danjiang River, there are clouds of war.

Li Dian and Liao Hua joined forces together. On the surface, it seemed that their strength had increased, but in fact they were firmly trapped along the Danjiang River by Cao Ren.

Unlike Li Dian's small fight at the Pass, Cao Ren's former Jingzhou naval army, whether in terms of warships or tactical skills, was far superior to the Hanzhong naval army that Li Dian temporarily pieced together.

The "water army" ruled by Liao Hua, who attacked from Wuguan, was just ships that transported food and grass.

Therefore, on land, Liao Hua and Li Dian can suppress Cao Renjun together, but once on the water, Liao Hua and Li Dian immediately caught them blindly.

In the two consecutive battles, Liao Hua and Li Dian's joint troops made progress on land and immediately suffered losses on the water.

Especially after the transport fleet, which was originally in the rear, not only lost food and grass, but also lost the ability to quickly transfer troops along the Danjiang Han River.

Li Dian tried to set up traps with only a few ships left, but Cao Ren changed his previous flinch and fought extremely fiercely on the water. Both the ships in Hanzhong and Wuguan were temporary naval forces, and they were almost crippled, which seriously damaged the courage of these soldiers, making them more and more retardless on the water, and became increasingly unable to compete with the Cao army's naval forces.

Cao Ren loaded a catapult and a crossbow on the tower ship, with a range of from fifty steps to two or three hundred steps. Even if Li Dian and Liao Hua tried to ambush on the shore, once they entered the shooting range of the tower ship, they would become the target of attack. If you try to attack the tower ship, you must break through the battleship cruising before the tower ship, or even the Cao army landed on the shore unit, which led to Li Dian and Liao Hua either being driven away from the Danshui Hanshui. However, once they were far away, they might be sent by Cao Ren to cut off the food route and destroy the rear line...

In addition, Cao's army recruited civilians to build many military camps along the Danshui River, which made Li Dian and Liao Hua pay a considerable price for every step forward. Any troops that could be exposed to Cao Ren's attack range along the river must not only beware of sneak attacks from the shore, but also be careful of the Cao's landing troops that suddenly appear behind the butt, which greatly enhances the difficulty of Li Dian and Liao Hua's attack.

Li Dian and Liao Hua both knew that if they wanted to attack Xiangyang smoothly, the first thing they wanted was to eliminate Cao Ren's naval fleet, but the question was how to fight?

Inducement and ambush will have certain effects, but the cost of paying is far higher than that of Cao Ren.

Because Cao Ren was on the water, he could send small troops to land.

If Li Dian and Liao Hua mobilized large troops to eat these Cao Ren's small troops, it is one thing to surround and eat them, and it is another thing to expose their plan's purpose. At the same time, because Cao Ren is on the water, the soldiers do not need to consume too much physical strength when they turn around, and the Cao army soldiers such as oars can get rest and recover when the landing troops landed on the shore. On the contrary, Li Dian and Liao Hua have to find a suitable ambush site on the shore and run back and forth, and even if they ambush, they may not have any good results.

Of course, Li Dian and Liao Hua could also completely abandon the Danshui and Hanshui route and choose to go directly to Xiangyang on land, but choosing this means changing homes with Cao Ren...

Because Cao Ren was able to take the water route and save labor and convenient, he could not have tried to attack Li Dian and Liao Hua's retreat first, and then cut off the food route before going downstream to Xiangyang.

There are risks in changing homes, so be cautious when acting.

This is not a real-time strategy game. If you don’t have a good game, just GG and start the next game.

Most people, once they fail, have no chance to start the next game.

Therefore, Li Dian and Liao Hua had to advance step by step step by step, covering each other's footsteps.

When Li Dian attacked, Liao Hua covered, intercepted, and ambushed from behind.

Then after Li Dian established his foothold in front, Liao Hua pulled forward, and then it was Li Dian's turn to cover the situation behind...

This is slow, but the victory is safe.

At first, this strategy did make Cao Jun pull the turtle and have nowhere to vent, but soon, Li Dian and Liao Hua fell into a bigger trap set by Cao Ren...

...

...

The heavy rain in summer was like a pour, covering the sky and the sun, causing the four fields to completely fall into chaos.

The wind and rain were blowing, connecting the sky and the earth into a diagonal line. It twisted to this side and then to that side again. It seemed that there was an invisible hand in the air, smearing the earth with these rain waters in a crazy and casual manner.

Longzhong.

A magical place.

It was originally a nameless place, but because of the existence of someone, it became a legend, shining with yellow and orange light.

In the midst of the storm, the Cao army guards in Longzhong County were as in the same mood as Cao army in other parts of Jingzhou. No one knew when the storm that seemed to destroy Cao Cao and the Han Dynasty would stop, and they did not know whether they could survive the storm.

Longzhong is west of Xiangyang.

Going east of Longzhong, there are Fancheng and Xiangyang.

The northwest of Longzhong is the capital, and the south is Zhonglu.

There are mountains, water, and there are houses.

In history, Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion here, which was actually imitating Zhongnan Mountain in Guanzhong.

It's a bit far, but not too far.

In history, there were many people who "living in seclusion" with Zhuge Liang in Longzhong, but in the end, Zhuge Liang was not famous.

Now there are also guards stationed in Longzhong County. However, after all, Longzhong is not big, and the entire county town is only a quota of 300 yuan. With 42 empty salary, there are only about 200 soldiers.

In the heavy rain, even if you wear a straw raincoat, you can easily get wet by the wind and rain. Therefore, except for some soldiers who are forced to come out to serve, most people hide in doorways or corner towers, lying half-lying half-lying.

They are said to be soldiers, but in fact they are no different from beggars. They have torn robes and incomplete armor. They are neither elite defenders of key counties nor brave warriors who want to fight and be thirsty guns. They are just a way to support their families.

Cao's army was helpless when he led his lazy soldiers to look at them.

If Cao Cao was in full swing now, then these Cao army soldiers would not have a better spirit, but now Prime Minister Cao cannot protect himself. These defenders in remote places can only live one day.

Moreover, for Longzhong, there are Fangling and Zhuyang in the west, and Shandu in the south. Since there is no news of the police being sent, there is naturally no need to be on guard every day and be nervous.

In the heavy rain, I was very bored. A few bowls of porridge I drank in the morning and swayed in my stomach for a while, which turned into urine.

Cao's army shook and walked to the edge of the corner tower, pushed open half of the door, and just took out his robe before he took out his words to face the door when he saw a sturdy face with a plump beard in the rain and fog.

This fierce man, wearing a armor with a squid, was wearing armor. The red tassels on the squid were wet, but they stuck to the iron helmet and kept flowing down in the heavy rain. The armor on his body was also washed white and bright by the rain, especially the two heart-protecting armors on his chest, which were pushed high by his chest muscles, and were clean, as if the cold air of steel flashed in the rain.

There was a battle knife in my hand, and the blade was obviously sharply sharp, and even the rain couldn't stand on it, and it slid downwards with a gurgling look...

Obviously, this fierce man was preparing to touch the corner tower, but unexpectedly, before he reached the gate of the corner tower, Cao's army led him out.

As the eyes of both sides intersected, the man seemed to smile, and then he reached out and grabbed Cao's army like he was catching a chicken. The sword was directly placed on his neck.

Cao's army shook his body, and he couldn't control it as soon as he urinated, and flowed down his legs and feet. Fortunately, it was in heavy rain, even if it was a little yellow, it was quickly washed away by the rain.

The voice of the big man was colder than the weapon in his hand, and it also revealed a strange tone, "Don't move, move, die!"

Cao's army led a dumbfounded chicken, and did not even dare to nod, nor did they dare to make any sound.

Those who are scrambling to live in troubled times know when they can't be a hero, and if they don't have the ability, they are more obedient. Moreover, Cao's army was frightened to see that in the heavy rain, not only the fierce man, but also twenty or thirty figures, with sharp armor and weapons, and the red tassels on the crocodile were as bright as blood, climbing up from the battlements!

...

...

Outside Longzhong City.

Zhuge Liang was wearing a straw raincoat, and a layer of oil cloth was added inside and a hat on his head.

This way, even if you stand in heavy rain, you can avoid getting wet.

But shoes, robes and trousers are inevitable.

It's like even if Zhuge Liang was killing someone on his own, his hands were inevitably stained with blood.

From Fangling, in order to conceal whereabouts and cover up the news as much as possible, Zhuge Liang had to order the strictest means to control the area. In this process, naturally some people would lose their lives.

Being cautious is still there, but the current "bold behavior" has also been added!

The key is that such a strategy is about to succeed!

In the heavy rain, Shamoke broke through the rain and mist and stepped forward. There was a Cao army soldier under his arm, like a dog. He went near Zhuge Liang and threw it on the ground, "Catch it! This guy is still peeing at me!"

Zhuge was stunned for a moment, then smiled and looked at the Cao army struggling in the mud and water on the ground, "The cavalry has an order, and those who surrender will not be killed, and those who return to their hometown will have land... Are you willing to surrender?"

...

...

Heavy rain poured down.

The Han River surging like a dragon coming out of the abyss.

Liao Hua stood on the muddy embankment, watching the turbid river water over the reeds, dyeing the camping low-lying areas ink.

The rain penetrated into his inner clothes through the gaps of the iron armor, causing a little chill on his back.

He had ordered his men to go and find high grounds suitable for camping, but no one came to repay them for the time being.

"Captain, the grain cart is stuck on the ten-mile slope."

A messenger came in a hurry.

"Have you ever seen Cao's army?" Liao Hua didn't ask what the grain cart was, because it was a fake grain cart.

When transporting food on rainy days, you will not do such stupid things unless it is really urgent.

However, Liao Hua and Li Dian did not have any real-time battlefield contact system, so Li Dian issued a fake grain truck according to the strategy originally discussed with Liao Hua...

"I didn't see Cao Jun."

The soldiers report.

This kind of weather is indeed inconvenient, so it is normal for Cao's army to not move.

"Captain, grain truck..."

When the soldiers saw Liao Hua pondering, they couldn't help but remind him.

"Send two hundred people to help push the cart."

Liao Hua ordered.

Although the grain truck is fake, the weapons and equipment transported in the grain truck is real. Even if there are no such weapons and equipment, more supplies will be helpful for the next stage of movement to prepare for the camp.
