Infinite war begins with Cao thief

Chapter 151 Po Shouchun (asking for monthly votes)

"General, do you dare to disembark and fight on land?"

General Lu Su said excitedly.

"Why don't you dare?"

Zhou Tai laughed.

Although he is now the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, back then he was the head of Dong Huang's bodyguard, and he was best at land warfare.

Although his martial arts skills are slightly inferior to those of Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhao Yunlai, they may not be able to make a profit if they really put their lives to work.

"In that case, why not disembark and seize Shouchun City!"

Lu Su told him his plan.

"Capture Shouchun? Capture Shouchun City?"

Zhou Tai was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic because he knew that this matter was going to have a big head start.

With the current military morale in Shouchun City, we only need to select 10,000 elite soldiers and attack the city at night while shouting "Yuan Benchu ​​has escaped", "The King of Chengdu's army has arrived", "General Shenwei has arrived", "Those who surrender will be spared death", "Officers" Slogans such as "keep on duty" will definitely cause chaos in the defenders and capture this strong city.

As for the siege equipment, just cut bamboo to temporarily build a ladder.

Zhou Tai's only worry now is that the defender is too weak and chooses to surrender before he attacks the city. Now, the military parade of Gao Shun, Xi Zhicai, and Gan Ning has become a big joke among Dong Huang's army.

The three of them, Gao Shun, were all called the "Three Lucky Generals", and their joking was palpable.

After all, their kind of march requires a lot of hard work, and their military achievements can only be regarded as a consolation prize, and they have to share the profits with the surrendering soldiers.

Zhou Tai didn't want to encounter this kind of problem.

"Commander, I would like to lead the army to ascend first!"

Niu Jin strives for credit first.

"Commander, I have not made any achievements since I defected to the King of Chengdu. I am willing to kill the general and seize the flag in this battle to repay the King of Chengdu for his great kindness!"

Compared with Niu Jin's crudeness, He Qi's statement was much more educated, and it was not easy to refuse.

"Captain, so do I!"

"Me too!"

With these two people at the beginning, others also asked for help.

As long as you are not stupid, you can see that this will be a great achievement for nothing. Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no risk, but there is no risk in leading troops to fight, and compared with the benefits, the risks are not worth mentioning at all. .

"That's enough, everyone, shut up!"

Zhou Tai was annoyed: "You all want to get there first, so who will command the navy? How to respond if something changes? Don't forget our main purpose!"

Zhou Tai's troops mainly use sea-going ships. Even in the rainy season, it is difficult to sail into the Huaihe River. Therefore, the strategic goal Dong Huang gave them is just to cut off Yuan Shao's army's retreat. As long as this strategic goal is achieved, it will be a great achievement. One piece.

Of course, if the fight fails, the board will fall on them.

Zhou Tai's justified scolding instantly silenced everyone.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhou Tai finally spoke: "I have made up my mind. I will be the first to do this operation myself!"

Niu Jin:? ? ?

He Qi:? ? ?

The rest of the generals:? ? ?

"Captain? You are not kind! And you must need a lieutenant..."

Niu Jin, who was also a guard of Dong Huang, couldn't help but complain. His words made Mr. Zhou Tai blush.

However, he is thick-skinned and dark, and it is basically invisible to others.

"Captain, how about this. Although Su is not talented, he is willing to stay on the ship and command the navy. The other generals can be divided into three parts. One will accompany the governor to attack Shouchun, the other will go upstream to pursue Yuan Shao, and the third will go down the river to pursue Yuan Shao. The Eastern Route Army; as for those who attack Shouchun, when they pursue Yuan Shao next, they should not take the credit but have to defend the ship, how about that?"

Lu Su took the initiative to ask Ying to rescue Zhou Tai.

"Okay, just follow what Mr. Zijing said!"

Zhou Tai was overjoyed. The more he looked at Lu Su, the more he liked him.

Other generals were also impressed by Lu Su's resourcefulness and magnanimity, and their favorable impressions of him greatly increased.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Zhou Tai couldn't wait to take Niu Jin, Zhang Ying, Fan Neng and others who had the chance to draw lots, and led more than 7,000 elite troops to attack the city overnight.

Just as the generals had guessed, the Shouchun guards had no fighting spirit at all. They shot a few sparse arrows at first, but as Zhou Tai advanced bravely with arrows stuck in his body, no one was willing to resist desperately.

As Dong Huangjun shouted the slogans he had prepared before, half of the city wall defenders knelt down and surrendered, while the rest also fled with their heads in their hands.

Zhou Tai's troops easily captured a city wall and opened the city gate.

The subsequent battle went more smoothly than expected. Yuan Shaojun had no decent resistance at all, so he was in disarray. They shouted "Dong Huang's army has entered the city" and "General Shenwei has entered the city". They shouted slogans even louder than Dong Huang's. The army must be loud.

When Zhou Tai's troops reached the city gate, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who were detained by Yuan Shao, were in Jiao Chu's camp. Jiao Chu was the general left by Yuan Shao to guard Shouchun. Zhou Yu had no one because Yuan Shao and others were busy escaping. He took care of him, so he took the opportunity to come to Jiaochu's camp and wanted to persuade Jiaochu to surrender.

It was no longer possible to surrender. Zhou Yu stood as a third party and could easily see that Yuan Shao's army had run out of strength from the moment Dong Huang's army cut off the Huaihe River.

The so-called three-way suspicious soldiers are just hanging on. It is hard to say how much strength the east road, which is dominated by Yuan Shujun's soldiers, can exert when facing Zhao Yun. The main force led by Yuan Shao may not be able to defeat Zhang Liao, who has high morale and has never been defeated. As for the same Shouchun, where Yuan Shu's army surrendered most of its soldiers, was also in danger. Once the main force of Dong Huang's army arrives, Shouchun will not be able to defend it.

In fact, in Zhou Yu's view, Yuan Shao has only one chance to survive, and that is to ignore Zhao Yun's troops in the east for now, but send a general to concentrate superior forces to defeat Zhang Liao at all costs and open up the road to Runan. aisle.

During this process, Yuan Shao had to personally take charge of Shouchun and boost morale to resist the attacks of Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai's tribe.

Once Zhang Liao's troops are defeated, Shouchun's enemies will only be left in the east and north routes for the time being. Among them, the navy's land combat capabilities are average and they only need to defend cautiously. The main force concentrates superior forces for a decisive battle with Zhao Yun's troops.

You don't even need to defeat Zhao Yun, you just need to repel Zhao Yun, then the siege of Shouchun will be won.

To put it bluntly, Dong Huangjun's biggest weakness is that he lacks the ability to command a large army. He has not coordinated the four armies at all, so it gives Yuan Shaojun the possibility of defeating him!

In terms of strategy, Dong Huangjun was undoubtedly extremely excellent, but in terms of tactical decision-making, they had to fight independently.

However, Zhou Yu's idea is only theoretical.

Zhou Yu could stand and talk without any pain in his back, saying that Yuan Shao should guard Shouchun, but would Shouchun definitely be able to guard it?

When fighting a war, you can't just consider the numbers on paper. Military morale is sometimes more important than the number of troops.

Therefore, Zhou Yu, who knew that nothing could be done, decided to persuade Jiao Chu to surrender and use his credit to save himself and Sun Quan.

However, before he could persuade the anxious Jiao Chu, Zhou Taijun had already entered the city.

At this moment, Jiao Chu was dumbfounded.

The difference between dedicating a city and being forced to surrender is not that big.

But now that the matter has come to this, what can Jiao Chu do?

"I regret not listening to Gong Jin!"

Jiao Chu said with a sad face.
