The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 63 Countermeasures
Now Jiangxia County has [-] soldiers, of which [-] are navy and [-] infantry.Of the [-] infantry, [-] were defenseless troops who had no combat effectiveness. It was okay to stand on the wall and shoot an arrow or throw a stone.The other [-] infantry were Zhang Wu's elite troops capable of fighting in the field. They had been carefully selected since the beginning of his deployment in Jiangxia, trained strictly, well equipped, rewarded and punished clearly, and morale high.

These soldiers are Zhang Wu's greatest strength, they are his lifeblood, and they can't compete with Jiangdong's army.

Therefore, when Zhang Wu started to expand his army, of course he couldn't expand casually, and he couldn't just recruit some civilians as soldiers. If such untrained civilians were forced to go to the battlefield, they would not only lose their combat effectiveness, but also disturb the morale of the army.Zhang Wu ordered the defenders of the counties under Jiangxia County to quickly gather to Jiangxia City, and at the same time sent someone to deliver a letter to Huang She of Zhangling County, asking him to bring as many soldiers as possible to support Jiang Xia and avenge his father Huang Zu.

Although the defenders in the counties are not strong in combat effectiveness, they have been trained to some extent. It is no problem to defend the city, and they are much better than ordinary people.And Huang She has always wanted to avenge Huang Zu, and even resigned from the post of Zhangling prefect earlier to come to Jiangxia to hang out with Zhang Wu, this time he finally used him.

Then Zhang Wu adopted Kuai Liang's strategy when Sun Jian's soldiers surrounded Xiangyang. Burn it if you leave, leaving nothing for Jiangdong.

Those who cannot be resettled in Jiangxia City will be resettled in other counties. Adult men and carpenters, bricklayers, stonemasons, blacksmiths and other skilled craftsmen will stay in Jiangxia City first, and make some utensils and the like while defending the city.

After the order was issued, Jiangxia County began to get busy. People and resources were continuously transported to Jiangxia City. A total of more than 6000 soldiers assembled in Jiangxia City from various counties. They were reorganized into several battalions by Zhang Wu and arranged for training.

Huang She came from Zhangling County with 5000 people. These 5000 people were all regular troops. Although they were not trained enough and had never been on the battlefield, at least they were well equipped, had undergone some military training, and brought a lot of food and grass. .

"General Zhang, I brought all the soldiers that Zhangling County could bring, and I even had someone buy some food!" General Huang She came to find Zhang Wu after handing over the army's food and grass.

"On behalf of all the civil and military people in Jiangxia, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Huang Taishou for his great help this time. This time we will fight together to avenge the old Taishou!" Zhang Wu expressed his gratitude. This Mr. Huang is quite righteous. Buying so much food and grass out of pocket is really a timely gift.

After getting through this difficulty, I must thank Mr. Huang. Although he doesn't have any great abilities, he is a pretty good man. He is also from the Huang family, a wealthy family in Jingzhou. He can use it after he takes Jingzhou. As long as he doesn't let He just leads the troops to fight.

In this way, Jiangxia County has more than 4 soldiers. Although compared with Sun Quan's [-] troops, the number is not superior, but considering that Jiangxia belongs to the defenders and occupies a favorable location, it should not be a big problem.

Jiangxia and Jiangdong have been at war for more than ten years. The people of Jiangxia have long been accustomed to Jiangdong's invasion, so they are not afraid of Sun Quan's large-scale attack this time.
Xiling City, the seat of Jiangxia County, is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. It is still far away from the Yangtze River. It is impossible for warships from Jiangdong to sail directly to the city.Although the Jiangdong navy is number one in the world, the Jiangdong infantry is no match for it! !
Although Jingzhou's navy is not as good as Jiangdong's, Jingzhou's infantry is comparable to Jiangdong's infantry.The Jiangdong infantry mainly fought against Shanyue, and the people of the Shanyue tribe didn't even have complete equipment, and they didn't know the art of war. It was not difficult, so they couldn't train elite infantry.The Jingzhou infantry often fought against Cao Cao, Zhang Lu, and Liu Zhang, especially the infantry under Cao Cao was the most elite infantry in the world. After fighting against such opponents for a long time, their own level must be improved a lot.

And now the [-] infantry in Jiangxia City can be regarded as the most elite infantry in Jingzhou. Although they are definitely not as good as Cao Cao's Tiger Guard Battalion due to the lack of battle experience, it is still very easy to deal with the fourth-rate Jiangdong infantry.

The incompetence of the Jiangdong infantry is well known throughout the world. Sun Quan has a nickname called "Sun Shiwan". This is not a good name, it is synonymous with humiliation!

When Sun Quan goes out in person, he likes to lead an army of 800 every time. In the original book, Sun Quan led an army of [-] to attack Hefei, which was guarded by Zhang Liao. In the end, Zhang Liao and Li Dian led [-] people to attack Huanglong and headed towards Sun Quan in the army. Just rushed over.Zhang Liao shouted while rushing: "I am Zhang Liao!"

Sun Quan didn't expect that such a small number of opponents would dare to charge directly at his [-] troops, and even charged directly at him. Zhang Liao's [-] elites were really unstoppable, and they killed two generals of the Wu army in a short while, Chen Wu died in battle, Song Qian, Xu Sheng Ye couldn't hold back the panic, and the soldiers started to flee.Sun Quan was also frightened, and hurried to a high place to protect himself with soldiers, and defended himself with a long halberd.

After this battle, the loss of the Wu army may not be great, but the morale of the army is over. The so-called "injury is not high, and the insult is extremely strong", so the [-] army was quickly defeated, and even Sun Quan himself almost died in the battle. among.

This battle gave Sun Quan the nickname "Sun Shiwan", and also achieved Zhang Liao's title of "Zhang Babai". There is a poem in later generations: "Bringing a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Hefei's [-] will give away the head."

Therefore, Zhang Wu's strategy was to avoid a water battle with Jiangdong's army, let them go ashore to fight on foot, let them attack the city, and use the tall walls of Jiangxia City to drain the blood of Jiangdong's army.

Zhang Wu held a pre-war meeting to make some arrangements for the upcoming war. The participants were the core members of Zhang Wu's small gang and some generals in the army. Huang She also attended the meeting.

"This time we cannot fight head-on with the Jiangdong navy on the river. The [-] navy troops we have are the foundation of Jiangxia. We cannot lose too much, otherwise it will not be easy to replenish. Moreover, the water is not the main battlefield of this war. We Let them go up, use the advantage of defending the city to consume them, until the Jiangdong army can't consume them. Therefore, I decided, Gan Ning obeys the order!"

Gan Ning stood up and replied, "The end is here!"

"Divide the water army into two parts. You will lead a part of 5000 people to go north along the Xiangshui River and station near Mianyang to monitor the movement of the Xiangyang water army. If the Xiangyang water army shows signs of moving towards Jiangxia, report it immediately. Give it to me and try to stop it. At the same time, send an order to the Shaxian defenders, if there is any abnormal situation in the Jiangling navy, report it quickly!"

Gan Ning saluted and said: "The general will obey your order!"

Zhang Wu looked at Huang She and found that his complexion hadn't changed. Mr. Huang should also know that Cai Hao is very unfriendly to Zhang Wu.
