On the edge of the Yangtze River in March, when the wind blows, it's still very cold.
Zhang Yu has gathered 300000 troops along the Yangtze River, and more troops are moving to this side.
After everything is ready, Zhang Yu shows his tusks and starts to attack.
Zhang Yu's troops are in Huangzhou, a place near Jiangxia county.
On the other side of Huangzhou is Wuchang, where Zhang Yu stationed tens of thousands of troops.
Here, Zhang Yu is not in a hurry to attack, he wants to land and water together, and the two sides of the Strait together.
Jiangxia County, just occupied by sun CE, was captured from Cai Mao, but now it may be unable to defend.
Sun CE and Zhou Yu have set up defense in Jiangxia County, and 200000 troops have been deployed.
"Bofu, Zhang Yu is fierce. If we don't attack here, we won't stop. If we don't have support, I'm afraid we won't last long." Zhou Yu said.
"We must strictly guard against sticking to our guard. As long as we can, we must stop Zhang Yu." Sun CE has little choice.
He is now in a hurry to claim the title of emperor, to seal a group of ministers, to win the hearts of the people, in an attempt to stop Zhang Yu.
However, Zhang Yu was very enterprising and personally led the army.
Several of Zhang Yu's generals, together with Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, have arrived. This is a decisive battle. Zhang Yu has no reservation about launching the war of reunification.
Zhang Yu was led by his relatives and his morale was high.
Zhang Yu and his army set out for Jiangxia county.
On the other side, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao arrived with 100000 troops.
In addition to the water army, Zhang Yu sent out about 500000 troops this time, and there were still several troops in the rear.
Zhang Yu went up along the river, leaving 50000 troops in the city for defense.
Sun CE did not dare to sneak out of the city and set up defenses on both sides of the Yangtze River.
In Shiyang, Hanyang, jiangxiakou, and Chibi, sun CE has arranged many troops here, and the reserve of 100000 troops is ready.
Zhang Yu didn't immediately order the navy to go to war. Instead, he went on land first, and the armies on both sides pushed forward at the same time.
Zhang Yu took tens of thousands of troops to Shiyang city.
Shiyang is not a big city, because it is close to the Yangtze River. After the rise of water transportation, it is prosperous.
But now prosperity will be broken and war will come again.
Jiang Qin stationed 80000 troops here, intending to stop Zhang Yu.
But Zhang Yu's 300, 000 troops are pushed directly. They are not easy to deal with.
Zhang Yu didn't encircle the city on four sides, he encircled it on two sides.
One side is East and the other is north.
When the army arrived, Zhang Yu was not in a hurry to attack. He had to give the enemy some pressure first.
On the other side, Zhang Liao took 100000 troops to the other side.
When Zhang Yu was sure that there was no ambush on both sides of the Yangtze River, he also ordered ships to fight.
In fact, sun CE had an ambush, but Zhang Yu fought along both sides of the Yangtze River, which made it impossible for him to ambush.
In Chibi, there is a water village built by sun CE, where sun CE and Zhou Yu live.
"Bofu, it's not easy to fight this battle. Zhang Yu is advancing by water. Our strategy is to hold Zhang Yu down." Zhou Yu said.
"Well, I'll go to jiangxiakou in person tomorrow, and I'll leave it to you." Sun CE said.
In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, a huge army appeared.
Zhang Yu's water army finally arrived.
Shiyang, Zhang Yu begins to attack.
Zhang Yu ordered a strong attack.
Jiang Qin defends the city, responds in time, and confronts Zhang Yu.
After several battles, Zhang Yu failed to break through the city.
The stone is whistling, both sides use the catapult to attack, the fight is very fierce.
The catapult hit for a long time, then the infantry went up.
Jiang Qin deliberately sent some people to the city, ambushed archers around, and then personally led a surprise attack to kill the soldiers on the city wall. Zhang Yu lost hundreds of people in a short time.
Zhang Yu counterattacks, archers close to the wall below the strong attack, strong attack for an hour, both sides pay the price of thousands of people.
The price was a little high, but Zhang Yu didn't hesitate and continued to attack.
In this way, we stormed for five days.
Jiang Qin was not low. He retreated overnight, and with about 50000 troops, he retreated to jiangxiakou to join sun CE.
On the other side of the Yangtze River, Zhang Liao launched an attack at this time.
The two sides attack at different times. Zhang Yu wants the city over there to support him and relieve Zhang Liao's pressure. Unexpectedly, the other side doesn't come out.
It's not surprising that Zhang Yu doesn't come out. Zhang Yu goes on with his troops.
It's close to the mouth of Jiang Xia. This is the place where sun CE's key defense is. His 100000 troops are here, and Jiang Qin's troops join him.
Jiangxiakou, because the Yangtze River turns here, is surrounded by the Yangtze River on both sides.
If we want to attack jiangxiakou, we can make a strong attack in two directions, or attack from the water.
From the water attack, there is no siege equipment at all, it is very difficult to attack.
On the other side of the river, on the other side of the river, and on the Yangtze River, sun CE deployed many defenses.
Before the city is at most slow down their action, however, here is the focus of attack.
Zhang Yu took the army to jiangxiakou, but it was on the other side.
Jiangxiakou, the city is on the south bank, zhangyuren is on the north bank.
But they didn't have to cross the river. On the other side, Zhang Liao also killed them.
"Leave 100000 people here to watch. Once there is action on the other side of the river, fengxiao can be cut off. I'll go to other cities first, and then attack jiangxiakou."
Zhang Yu left Guo Jia a hundred thousand troops, and then he and his army brought down the North Bank of the Yangtze River, from Sanjiangkou to Chibi.
It took Zhang Yu more than ten days. Once sun CE's troops were lost to a certain extent, they withdrew.
They just want to delay, so that's why.
After solving some cities on the North Bank of the Yangtze River, sun CE retreated to the south bank and set up a large number of defenses between jiangxiakou and Chibi.
"It's hard to fight."
Zhang Yu captured several places, and now we need to solve these two places.
At the mouth of jiangxiakou, Zhang Liao had surrounded them with his army, but they did not attack.
Zhang Yu personally took 200000 people to cross the river downstream. It was very easy for them to cross the river because they controlled all the downstream.
Zhang Yu personally took people to jiangxiakou.
Sun CE's flag was flying in the wind on the top of the city.
Zhang Yu appeared under the city.
"Sun CE, I didn't expect that the little boy had grown up. Would you like to come down and meet him?" Zhang Yu shouts.
Back then, when they were children, they met.
Sure enough, sun CE went down the city.
"Sun CE, no one can resist me. Why don't you surrender? I can keep your Sun family safe and prosperous." Zhang Yu said.
Surrender is indeed an option, but Sun CE never came to the end.
"Brother Zhang, we have known each other for many years, but we are still related by marriage. I naturally believe what you say, but my subordinates and my people will not allow me to surrender like this. If you attack Changsha, you can naturally make us surrender."
