Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 266

Chapter 266

According to Zhu Wei's investigation, this E County is different from Qichun County in that it has a hilly landform. Therefore, when the Yangtze River flows through E County, it will often pass through some canyons. This also allows Huang Zu to travel in E County. Here we are looking for suitable terrain to set up the defense line of the Yangtze River like a checkpoint on the water.

With the help of the narrow part of the canyons on both sides of the Yangtze River, the canyon cliffs on both sides become natural barriers, which can attack the enemy troops coming against the river from the cliffs.

With the help of the narrow canyon water channel environment, falling rocks, fireballs, and rockets thrown from the cliff are enough to destroy the ships entering the canyon.

One of them is called Guishe Gorge, which is a canyon basin more than a thousand meters long. On the left and right are the cliffs extending from Snake Mountain and Guishan Mountain. In the middle of the battle, if they encountered the attack of Huang Zu's defenders on the cliffs on both sides, it would be almost difficult to move forward.

The second water defense line that Huang Zu set up in E County was at the west exit of Guishe Gorge. When Liu Yao from Jiangdong and Liu Xun from Lujiang came to attack, Huang Zu could use two warships to block Guishe Gorge. , and then use the falling rocks and rockets on the cliffs on both sides of Guishe Gorge to destroy the incoming fleet.

It can be said that the most difficult level in Zhu Wei's attack on Jiangxia is here, and it is also the Jiang defense level that Zhu Wei hopes to quickly break through through a sneak attack.

For the location of Guishe Gorge, even if Zhu Wei asked people to go ashore on the front river first, and find a way from the road to seize control of the cliffs on both sides of Guishe Gorge, it would not be easy.

Both Snake Mountain and Guishan Mountain face east, that is to say, they are cliffs that are tens or hundreds of meters high near the east. Unless you have to make a big circle on land, you can go around the two hills. .

But this land of Jiangxia has many lakes, rivers, and mountains. If Zhu Wei's soldiers go ashore early and march on land, they will have to build bridges when encountering water and open roads when encountering mountains. It will really take time.

What's more, the logistics supply is not easy to transport, unless Zhu Wei personally leads the team, he can take out food supplies from the Three Kingdoms game system at any time.

But this would require Zhu Wei to take the risk himself. It was really not a very appropriate thing. It was equivalent to the commander not in the army commanding, and actually ran to the front to be a vanguard.

This will cause the army to lose its leader, and it is also a matter of picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

But if you climb the cliff directly and attack the two cliffs of Snake Mountain and Guishan Mountain, you will feel like attacking a city, just like attacking two natural tall city walls.

So if Zhu Wei can't get through the Guishe Gorge directly, it will take a lot of time. Not to mention that Jiangxia Huangzu is prepared, and Liu Biao from Nanjun can also send reinforcements to Huangzu, the battle will not be easy. .

It can be said that the geographical environment where Guishe Gorge is located is like a water defense line against Jiangdong constructed by heaven to help Jiangxia. It is not easy to break through easily.

On the contrary, from Jingzhou down the river to Jiangdong, the Snake Mountain and Guishan Mountain near Jingzhou are relatively flat, and they can easily rush up to the cliffs on both sides. Therefore, even if Zhu Wei captured Guishe Gorge, he could not use it as a target for Jingzhou. defense barrier.

Wang Yuyan originally planned for Zhu Wei that the battle of Jiangxia was a lightning raid, and suddenly rushed to Guishe Gorge. Before Huang Zu's defenders could react, they used tricks to quickly pass through Guishe Gorge and raided Huang Zu in Guishe Gorge. The water camp destroyed Huang Zu's second line of defense on the river.

But now that Zhang Shuo has surrendered and captured the war police and other ships in Qichun County's water village, Wang Yuyan has a new idea. Perhaps Zhang Shuo can be used to sneak attack on Guishen Gorge and break through this naturally formed barrier. Yangtze River Line of Defense.

So when Zhang Shuo came to Zhu Wei's main ship with three surrendered military lords, Wang Yuyan had already discussed with Zhu Wei the strategy of using Zhang Shuo to deceive Guishe Gorge.

It's just that Zhu Wei must ensure that Zhang Shuo is willing to cooperate, and will not suddenly regret it when the situation comes, and instead give a warning to Huang Zu's defenders on the other side of Guishen Gorge. Of course, Zhu Wei is not worried at all about loyalty.

Because Zhu Wei is assisted by the Three Kingdoms game system, as long as Zhang Shuo sincerely surrenders, his loyalty can be seen naturally. As for the other three military princes, they are not up to the standard of generals, so they can only play soy sauce.

But Zhu Wei can also judge whether they are loyal or traitorous by their color changes in the Three Kingdoms game map. If they are hostile, they will light up red in the Three Kingdoms game map.

So after the four of Zhang Shuo voluntarily surrendered, the four of them were quickly sent to Zhu Wei's main boat in a small boat. When Zhang Shuo and the others saw Zhu Wei, they knelt down on the ground.

Although they have surrendered at this moment, they are still prisoners. Of course, they have no qualifications to stand, nor are they qualified to be respected. Life and death can only be determined by Zhu Wei's thoughts.

This is what some people shouted on the battlefield, "Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated".

In this era when only kneeling, kneeling parents and ancestors, unless you are meeting the emperor in person, you can do three prostrations and nine kowtows. Kneeling to other people is a kind of humiliation.

Sometimes some people would rather die in battle than surrender, because surrendering is tantamount to giving up their self-esteem and their own personality.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo and the others who had given up their dignity did not know how Zhu Wei would treat them, so they felt a little uneasy.

"You are Zhang Shuo, you are very knowledgeable this time, what do you think now!"

Zhu Wei was sitting on a grand master's chair made by his carpenters. He was wearing a brocade robe and a red tasseled military crown, and he looked somewhat like a scholar and handsome man.

Now that Zhu Wei is regarded as the leader of one party, he has opened the door for himself in some things.

Sitting on knees these days is really tiring, even if there is a Maza in the army, it is uncomfortable to sit, and since Zhu Wei is the commander of the three armies, and he doesn't have to fight in person, he naturally hopes that he can sit comfortably in the middle army. Directed here.

Therefore, in order to make himself sit more comfortably, Zhu Wei asked the carpenters in the craftsman workshop to create a Taishi chair that resembles a bed for later generations.

Sitting like this, on the contrary, can give Zhu Weiping a bit of majesty. At the same time, Zhu Wei also built a seat for Wang Yuyan, so that she can also sit and command the battle safely.

Now Zhu Wei has placed a master's chair on his main ship, and there are sleeping couches and other things in the cabin. Life on the ship is no worse than on land.

While Zhu Wei was sitting like this, Zhang Shuo and the others could only see Zhu Wei's feet and boots when they were kneeling, which made them feel even more depressed.

"Shuo is willing to go through fire and water for the young master, and is so heartbroken! Willing to be a pawn in the young master's account!"

Zhang Shuo had already reached the current situation and naturally had no other thoughts. He could only lower his head and express his loyalty to Zhu Wei, but he also knew that Zhu Wei might not be able to trust a new general like him.

Around Zhu Wei, there was Mulan with dozens of personal guards watching Zhang Shuo and the others. If they made any move, they would be hacked to death.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo is keeping his posture very low, as long as he can survive, it doesn't matter even if he is an ordinary soldier...
