The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 311 Zhang Wu has three treasures

In Zhang Wu's view, as long as Moling City is captured, the victory is basically established. Sun Quan can only retreat in Wujun and Kuaiji Commanderies, and the connection with Cao Cao is also cut off. It is only a matter of time before he is wiped out. Problem.

Even if Lu Xun was born, it is actually impossible to repair the broken ship of Jiangdong, because Zhang Wu's momentum has been established, and it is not Lu Xun who can turn it around.

Even if Sun Quan reuses Lu Xun now and transfers Lu Xun to the front line, Zhang Wu is not afraid.Because Zhang Wu knows the details of Lu Xun, he will never underestimate the enemy, and Zhang Wu also has four military divisions under his command: Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Kuai Yue.

As the saying goes, "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice", Jiangdong now has no navy army, and the infantry is no match for the Jingzhou army. As long as Zhang Wu doesn't make any stupid big mistakes, he really can't think of what Jiangdong can rely on to make a comeback .

But even if Zhang Wu did not hesitate to lose his soldiers, the generals were very brave, but there was no way to take Moling City.

Maybe it will consume Lu Su to death in the end, but Zhang Wu has no time.

Cao Ren of Hefei has already sent troops again, and went directly to Wancheng.

Zang Ba, the governor of Xuzhou, is also leading his troops to come here.

Cao Cao personally led an army of 15, and the main force had already reached Shouchun. The forward Zhang Liao led [-] cavalry and went straight to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Come so fast!Somewhat beyond Zhang Wu's expectation, Cao Cao's army will arrive within five days at most.

Now Zhang Wu's rear is very empty. There are only [-] defenders in Xiangyang City, [-] in Fancheng, Jiangxia City is basically empty, and Chaisang has only a few soldiers to maintain order.

It can be said that Zhang Wu is now relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to defend against Cao Cao, but the Yangtze River is too long. If Cao Cao's army arrives, the navy will not be able to participate in the siege of Moling City, and must deploy defenses along the river.

Zhuge Liang only had [-] soldiers in Wancheng, and Wancheng was on the north bank of the Yangtze River, so he could hold it for the time being. Once Cao Cao led an army to surround Wancheng, Zhuge Liang would be trapped to death.

Lu Su, Lu Su, you can really cause me trouble!
Jingzhou army scouts also inquired that Zhang Zhao and others in Wujun were recruiting soldiers and planned to support Sun Quan.

Under such circumstances, if you are not careful, you may be seized by Cao Cao. Now the main force of the Jingzhou army is concentrated on the Moling battlefield. Once the back road is cut off and then attacked by Cao Cao and Sun Quan, the entire Jingzhou army may be wiped out. Danger.

Therefore, Zhang Wu ordered to suspend the siege, but to besiege Moling City and guard against Sun Quan at the same time.At the same time, Gan Ning led [-] sailors to escort Zhuge Liang to Chaisang, Ling Wenpin led [-] sailors back to defend Jiangxia, Feng Xi led Jiangling sailors back to Jiangling, and Ding Feng led [-] sailors to garrison Wuhu.

Fu Xun, Kou Feng and other generals each led thousands of sailors to patrol along the river to prevent Cao's army from sneaking across the Yangtze River.

In this way, the Jingzhou army's old nest and back road are safe, but the troops to besiege Moling City are not enough.

Pang Tong said: "My lord, in this way, there are only less than [-] infantry and [-] sailors here. I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture Moling City."

Not only Pang Tong, but also the other generals didn't understand. Now it's time to concentrate our troops to attack the city violently before Cao Jun arrives. How can we disperse the generals?

Now there are less than [-] troops left outside Moling City. We need to divide part of the navy to defend the north bank and part of the infantry to defend against Sun Quan. It is difficult enough to besiege Moling City, how can we attack the city?

Zhang Wu said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, I have my own plan, and the generals can follow orders!"

Everyone also knew that Zhang Wu would not do anything he was not sure of. Although he was puzzled, he still followed the order and led his troops to set off.

Afterwards, Zhang Wu called Xing Daorong, and arranged: "You lead two thousand sailors, bring more boats, and return to Xiangyang immediately to find You Biejia, hand this letter to him, and then act according to his orders."

After Xing Daorong left, Zhang Wu looked at Moling City, and said fiercely: "What the hell, I have to force Lao Tzu to use more moves!"

It turned out that Zhang Wu asked Xing Daorong to go back to Xiangyang to fetch gunpowder, and he wanted to blow up the walls of Moling City.

Originally, Zhang Wu didn't want to use gunpowder prematurely. He wanted to give this gift to Cao Cao first.In the strategic plan of the Zhangwu Group, after Sun Quan is eliminated, the next step is to capture Yizhou, and then the era of long-term confrontation with Cao Cao will begin.

Zhang Wu knew that his biggest shortcoming in fighting Cao Cao was that he did not have cavalry, and the north had fewer rivers and more plains, so cavalry ruled.But a cavalry unit cannot be established in a short period of time, especially now that the places where war horses are produced are basically occupied by Cao Cao, and it is estimated that they cannot be bought even if they have money.

But fighting for world hegemony is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. It is impossible for Cao Cao and Zhang Wu to plan to rule by rowing the river. Don’t come and beat me, and I won’t beat you either.

Cao Cao wants to destroy Zhang Wu and rule the world, and Zhang Wu also wants to destroy Cao Cao and rule the world, so there will definitely be a war.If Zhang Wu wanted to make a northern expedition, he had to rob Hanzhong, then occupy Liangzhou, obtain a horse farm, and train his own cavalry troops.

At that time, it will definitely confront Cao Cao's cavalry, and gunpowder is Zhang Wu's secret weapon to deal with Cao's cavalry.

Although the horse is a relatively large creature, it is easily frightened.The horse's eyesight is not very developed, but his hearing is very developed (you can tell by its big ears), and he is relatively timid.Excessive sound or audio will cause the horse to panic, such as the sound of train whistles, guns, gongs and drums, etc. Therefore, it takes a long time to train and adjust military horses, and it needs to be reviewed and strengthened frequently.

Zhang Wu planned to use the huge explosion of gunpowder to scare Cao Jun's horses when they fought on a large scale with Cao Jun's cavalry. After the horses were frightened, they would not obey the command, run around, and even collide with their own soldiers.

But I didn't expect that Lu Su could defend himself so well. He delayed him for more than 20 days until Cao Jun was about to arrive.

Therefore, Zhang Wu no longer worried that the use of gunpowder would alert Cao Cao. The most important thing at the moment was to capture Moling, completely severing the connection between Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and laying the foundation for victory in the battle to destroy Wu.

As for whether it will arouse Cao Cao's vigilance, how to deal with Cao Jun's cavalry in the future is a matter for the future, and there will always be a way.

This is also the reason why Zhang Wu sent all the sailors to ensure the safety of his rear, because there are not so many soldiers needed. As long as the walls of Moling City are blown down, the infantry of the Jingzhou Army can enter the city to solve the battle.

Zhang Wu's teeth itch with hatred for Lu Su now, and how many important things I have been delayed!

If Moling is in Zhang Wu's hands now, even if Cao Cao leads an army of millions to come, he will not be afraid.

But let's stop here, let you experience the power of technology!
I have three treasures, kerosene, poisonous smoke, and explosives. You have all seen kerosene and poisonous smoke, and I will soon let you experience Laozi’s super invincible ultimate weapon, explosives!
