Chapter 752 Battle of Dongting Lake 10

Liu Jiwu now boarded a ten-foot-long warship as his flagship.

In fact, his flagship can only play a role in stabilizing the morale of the military. He is not good at commanding water battles.

But at this time, his flagship is the Dinghai Shenzhen. With his flag, the Shun Army will not completely collapse.

At this time, Liu Jiwu's flagship was playing flags one after another, commanding the Shunjun fleet to reorganize its formation.

In the vast water, the shapeless fleet is vulnerable.

Although Liu Jiwu was not good at water warfare, he also knew that the current Shun army would definitely be unable to resist the Qian army.

"Retreat to the south bank and let the soldiers on the bank cover our return."

As long as they can go back, they still have a chance to make a comeback.

Xu Fan also had a relatively powerful naval force, and Liu Jiwu had high hopes for them.

Zhao Long did not see the scene of the fire boat being lit, but he saw the scene of the lake burning.

The raging fire blocked the way forward for Qian Jun. Unlike the pursuing Qian Jun, Zhao Long's flagship did not go around the sea of ​​fire. No, it had to go around the sea of ​​fire, but there was no rush.

He did not need to direct the battle ahead. He had already divided the work on the shore in the morning.

As long as each general completes their respective tasks smoothly, there will be no suspense in this battle.

Shunjun's reaction was all expected by Qianjun, including Liu Jiwu reorganizing his fleet and withdrawing to the south bank.

"Oh, I thought I could run away, so I sent the order to speed up the pursuit and let Shunjun know what despair means!"

Twenty modified ships broke away from the Ganjun fleet and quickly approached Shunjun.

Driven by the north wind, the modified Ganjun boat was not a fraction faster than the normal warship.

Even the army and warships could not keep up.

These small boats chasing after them are definitely not destroying the Shunjun fleet, but disrupting their formation and rhythm.

As long as their formation is disrupted, the army behind them can catch up.

The battle lasted for a long time. The Gan army went to the lake in the morning and the battle on the lake just ended when the sun set.

But the battle is not over yet, another battle has just begun.

The offensive and defensive battle on the lakeshore has officially begun.

Liu Jiwu, with the support of the Shun army on the south bank, returned to the water village on the south bank with less than ten warships.

Except for these ten warships and Xu Fan's naval force, there was no longer a single ship on Dongting Lake that was in line with the army.

Zhao Long had already landed on the land of Nanhu County at this time.

The military camp here has been occupied by Qian's army. More than 300 of the 500 Shun soldiers inside were killed, and more than 100 surrendered.

Although Zhao Long led the Shenwu Guards, his experience in training local legions made him very good at using the power of local soldiers.

There are already many people-to-people exchanges between Dongting County and Nanhu County.

Zhao Long mobilized a battalion composed entirely of people from Dongting County this morning.

Their purpose was simple, to persuade the Nanhu County Shun army to surrender.

Judging from the current results, they have played a great role.

This military stronghold is just an example. In the battles of other military strongholds, this battalion of local Dongting County soldiers achieved considerable results.

There were a total of 3,000 Shun soldiers who were persuaded to surrender.

There were only two thousand of them themselves.

After Liu Jiwu landed ashore, he immediately began to arrange the Shun troops on the shore to resist the Qian army's attack.

In the morning, he did not expect that Qianjun would launch a general offensive in such weather. Although he attached great importance to the changes in Qianjun, he did not throw all his troops into it.

Gu Shu\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;Nanhu County still has 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers defending it, but Liu Jiwu has not given up yet!

The Shun army has lost the ability to compete with the Qian army on Dongting Lake, and defense will undoubtedly become more difficult.

But Liu Jiwu was no longer able to think about that kind of thing.

If we can't hold on today, how can we talk about the Dongting Lake competition?

Liu Jiwu was not injured, but his attire was very embarrassing.

"Go and inform Xu Fan that before tonight, his navy must leave the water village and go to the lake. No matter whether he sneaks up on the army or chooses another puddle to camp, he cannot stay where he is."

Xu Fan's navy may be his last force on Dongting Lake, and it must not be blocked in the water village and eliminated.

What difference does it make if there is only one day difference? Come out and have a fight first!

Just as the messenger sent to Xu Fan's office left, two generals of the Shun army walked in.

This is not the original Shunjun camp. The generals first arranged for the soldiers to rest before gathering at Liu Jiwu.

But now they don't have time to hold a long meeting, so Liu Jiwu can only give the order and other generals can execute it.

After the two generals came in, before Liu Jiwu could speak, they spoke first, "Commander, the soldiers have been placed, but their morale is very low and they have little combat effectiveness."

Liu Jiwu nodded, and he had no intention of letting the people in the camp continue fighting.

Although they were defeated today, they were still among the few soldiers in the Shun Army who could fight on the water, and they could not be completely lost in the hands of the Gan Army.

It is not a good time to compete with Ganjun today.

Liu Jiwu clearly understood the situation.

"Let the various military forts on the shore be strictly guarded. Some remote military forts can be abandoned, and the main ones should be guarded. Don't let the dry army gain a foothold on the south bank..."

Liu Jiwu began to command the Shun army to defend the lake shore. Time was very tight. His order might not be delivered to all the military strongholds in time. Some of the military strongholds were captured by the Qian army before Liu Jiwu's order arrived...

But his order is still very important. At least it can allow Shunjun to find the backbone and condense it into a rope instead of becoming a piece of loose sand.

If Liu Jiwu had just been left on the lake, his army would have been at least twice as large.

The military camp built by the Shun Army on the south bank of Dongting Lake was very strong, and at least it looked like a Qianjun.

Even the Shenwu Guards could only attack some small military forts before the large siege equipment was delivered.

There are only five or six hundred people at most, and the same number of Ganjun soldiers can capture it with little effort.

If the number of troops in the military stronghold exceeds a thousand, it will be difficult for the same number of dry troops to attack the military stronghold.

It would take at least 1.5 times the strength of the troops to take it down relatively easily.

Of course, this is because the Shenwu Guards are not fully equipped and are not ready to attack the city.

It also has something to do with Liu Jiwu's learning of Qianjun's camp construction methods.

But not big!

Yes, it doesn’t matter much!

However, when Zhao Long received the summary of the day's battle report in the evening, he immediately discovered the changes in the Shun Army, which made him appreciate the commander of the Shun Army Liu Jiwu a little more.

"This Liu Jiwu is a smart man, but he is with the wrong person!"

Zhao Long's words are a bit biased. It's not that Liu Jiwu followed the wrong person, but that he didn't have the right to choose from the beginning.

Generals like him have their own persistence. Unless there are extremely special circumstances, they will not change their families easily.

Even though he knew that he might not be able to defend Nanhu County, Liu Jiwu never thought about surrendering.

There were only generals Shun Guo who died in battle, but no generals Shun Guo who surrendered.

At this time, several former Shunjun generals standing next to Zheng Zheng in the Zhongshan Mountains could only lower their heads, thinking silently in their hearts: We are not afraid of death, but we are afraid of the worthlessness of death!
