Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 443 The Battle Between the Two Armies Begins
For Tai Shici, Huang Zhong and the others at this time, Wang Yuyan's response method is naturally an extremely safe military tactic, and it is also a perfect tactic to avoid unexpected changes, even if such a tactic will waste some time.

At the same time, Wang Yuyan also deliberately used the reason that Danyang City was guarded by more than 1 soldiers commanded by Zhang Ying to convince everyone that Danyang City would not fall so easily, so that everyone could alleviate some of their worries about Danyang City in their hearts.

But in fact, even if Danyang City fell, no one could blame her. They could only say that Sun Ce's army was too crazy, and it could only be said that Sun Ce was indeed an enemy that was not easy to deal with.

Or it could be said that Wang Yuyan had done her best, but it was a pity that she still couldn't rescue her in time.

Of course, now that Wang Yuyan regards Zhou Yu's attacking army as a major enemy, Wang Yuyan naturally arranged extremely safe tactics for the battle against Zhou Yu here. The five people also took orders one after another to prepare their own troops.

In this way, when Zhu Wei's Battle of Bowangpo had just begun and Zhang Xiu had feigned surrender, Wang Yuyan finally dispatched troops from Niuzhu camp to meet Zhou Yu's so-called [-] troops occupying Moling.

Of course, at this time, the Jiangling naval army commanded by Cai Mao had already followed the river to Jiangdong, but after receiving the military order from Wang Yuyan, Cai Mao directly led his troops to continue east, heading directly towards Wu County.

The battle between Zhu Weijun and Sun Cejun for Jiangdong finally kicked off.

Not to mention anything else, Wang Yuyan's army stationed at Niuzhu Camp quickly divided into two groups and headed towards Moling County.

The first part is Liu Yao's old soldier under the command of Yu Fan and Chen Heng, who seems to have become a vanguard. The goal is directed at the front of Zhou Yu's moling county, as if he wants to attack the Moling defense line set up by Zhou Yu.

The second part is the [-] soldiers of the Central Army battalion commanded by Wang Yuyan himself, plus [-] auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands temporarily recruited, and then Huang Zhong followed Wang Yuyan and became the general who led the army to charge. The [-] old soldiers transferred from Yuzhang remained in the Niuzhu camp to replace the soldiers of the original Chinese battalion, and Bao Long was in command to guard the material storage base.

In addition, the 1 soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion commanded by Tai Shici were divided into [-] archers and [-] crossbow archers, and they were temporarily included in Wang Yuyan's central army, leaving about [-] sword shields. He and four thousand bowmen and crossbowmen followed Tai Shici and disappeared in the sequence of dispatching troops. They left the Niuzhu camp by boat and seemed to have disappeared.

In this way, half a day later, the old soldiers of Liu Yao, commanded by Yu Fan and Chen Heng, were less than five miles away from Moling County, and the scouts sent by Yu Fan and Chen Heng had already met the scouts sent by Zhou Yu outside. , launched some tentative fights.

The city of Moling County is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, surrounded by many rivers that fork from the Yangtze River, including the Qinhuai River in later generations, forming a landform of water towns in the south of the Yangtze River with abundant water resources. Many places need bridges to cross the river.

Because this area is also a place where the Han people have been developing for a long time, the forests in the surrounding flatlands have basically been cut down and turned into villages and forts.

However, with the outbreak of the war, many common people fled their homes to avoid the disaster of the war, so many villages have now become deserted.

Originally, some gentry and powerful families in the Jiangdong area could still rely on their own small city-like Wubao Manor to gather people to guard them. Wubao, you can find the smell of human smoke.

But this time Zhou Yu forcibly recruited all the young and strong people around Moling County to collect all kinds of food and materials that could be collected, so even those gentry and powerful families would not be easily let go. The Wubao Manor, which has the ability to protect itself, is still invisible now, and many Wubao were directly abandoned and burned.

Now those who can stay in this area are mainly Zhou Yu's soldiers who were ordered to station in various places and the scouts from both sides running everywhere, and only they dare to walk and stay in this area in a fair manner.

Others are only occasionally seen some remaining old and weak people, lingering like voles in the village where they lived. Once they heard the sound of outsiders coming, they would immediately hide in secret rooms, cellars, etc. where they hid everywhere. Meet outsiders.

Zhou Yu's defense line in the Moling County area has been stretched to three miles away from Moling County. Many defense lines are set up against the river. With the help of the river that divides the land here, and the shoals and bridges that pass through the river, they are used to block Zhu Wei. The advancing front of the army.

Although Zhou Yu's soldiers are mostly private soldiers of various ethnic groups and coerced young men, lacking in training and combat effectiveness, with the help of these lines of defense, they can still fight.

However, Wang Yuyan sent Yu Heng and Chen Heng to lead Liu Yao's old soldiers as the vanguard. They also relied on their familiarity with Danyang to find the best route to Moling. For example, some rivers could be crossed directly. For example, some rivers can find narrow channels, build pontoon bridges in the fastest time, and so on.

In addition, they can also find some routes unknown to outsiders, avoid Zhou Yu's defense lines, and go directly to the back of these defense lines, thereby clearing the way for the army behind, so that the army has a safe route to Moling County.

Now that Zhu Wei is not here, Wang Yuyan naturally cannot rely on Zhu Wei's reminder through the Three Kingdoms game system to find out the movement of the enemy army, so Wang Yuyan can only send a large number of scouts to explore areas where the enemy may exist.

In this way, Wang Yuyan didn't hide her methods when she dispatched troops this time. Anyway, she used the scouts in front to explore the way, and then the pioneers opened the way.

Although the old soldiers of Liu Yao, commanded by Yu Pan and Chen Heng, who were the pioneers at the front, were not the elite of Liu Yao's army, they were regular soldiers who had received training after all. When Moling's outer defense line, it can also easily break through some defense lines with simple terrain with the help of the number of troops.

Even if they encountered a disadvantageous terrain, they really couldn't easily break through the defense line in the past. Wang Yuyan would also send Huang Zhong to bring the archers and crossbowmen of the Shenjian Battalion up to help suppress Zhou Yu's soldiers guarding the defense line with bows and crossbow arrows, thus helping Yu Yu Chen Heng and Chen Heng continued to lead troops to break through.

It can be said that although the process of clearing the outer defense line of Moling County cannot be regarded as a one-off, it cannot stop the advance of Zhu Wei's army. At most, it will delay the advance of Zhu Wei's army a little bit.

This is what Zhou Yu wants to achieve, but it is also something that Wang Yuyan doesn't care about...
