Chapter 747 Battle of Dongting Lake 5

Dongting County.

Zhao Long gave no other instructions after he decided to train his troops in actual combat.

Shunjun needs time to build warships and train naval forces, and the same goes for Ganjun.

It's just that the navy is easy to train, but the warship is difficult to build!

Unless you are willing to spend money and can accept the loss of a warship falling apart within a few months of being launched, it will take at least two or three months to build a qualified warship, and this is still assuming there are enough suitable materials.

In fact, shipbuilding is a job with high (low) upper and lower limits. Some large ships require a large country to build several years or even ten years, while some canoes can be built successfully by one person on an isolated island.

It all depends on what the boat builder wants to do with the boat.

A canoe will definitely not be able to hit a building boat that is dozens of feet long.

It's just that the urgent matter now is to follow the authority. First, build a batch of warships that can fight and support the battle on Dongting Lake. Warships that can be used for a long time can be built slowly.

Anyway, it will definitely be useful if it is created. Sooner or later, Qianguo will capture Shunguo.

Liu Jiwu's heart was more inclined to fight a protracted war between Qian and Shun.

What supports his speculation is that the Qianjun's offensive was not violent and was very different from their previous fighting methods.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is a conspiracy by the Qianjun.

That's why Liu Jiwu thought of launching a counterattack in half a month. Success would surely buy him a lot of time.

As long as the Qian army does not have a strong naval force, Liu Jiwu will be confident in holding Nanhu County.

Xu Fan trained the navy in Dongting Lake, and he transferred another navy from the Flying Bear Legion in the south.

In one month, there will be nearly 10,000 water troops in Nanhu County. By then, it will be even more difficult for the Gan army to cross Dongting Lake.

However, Zhao Long does not seem to be worried about Nanhu County strengthening its defense on Dongting Lake.

He never thought that he could not invade Nanhu County, even if Liu Jiwu made more preparations.

This time, Liu Jiwu thought wrong. Zhao Long actually had no conspiracy. The previous tactics were just that the Divine Guards at that time were not strong enough. If he wanted to defeat the enemy but did not want to suffer too many casualties, he could only ask the lord to take action himself. Only then did those things that can be called miracles happen.

Now that the Qian Kingdom has been established, the Divine Guard Army has become a more powerful Shenwuwei and Yulin Guard, as well as a larger four-party divine beast army and garrison army. The Qian Army no longer needs to invite gods to appear.

"If the Qian Kingdom still needs the King's intervention now, it only shows that our generals are incompetent!"

Zhao Long said to his subordinates at a combat meeting.

"This time we will defeat Liu Jiwu in an upright manner and invade Nanhu County."

The "upright and upright" thing Zhao Long said was that Yang Yuan didn't need to take action to deceive them. Stratagems still had to be used.

On the battlefield, soldiers never tire of deceit, so there is no such thing as a grand battle.

This kind of war disappeared as early as 1,200 years ago after the defeat of Song Gong.

Everyone knows that fighting like a gentleman will lead to failure. Who would still be a gentleman general?

It's okay to be a gentleman and stay away from the battlefield.

Of course, if you just want to be a brave general who charges into battle and doesn't have to think about other things, then there's no problem.

But it’s best not to, because any problem on the battlefield may affect the situation of the battle, which is related to the lives of many people, many, many...

Zhao Long lived two lives. Although they were not long, his understanding of war was very deep.

So his heart is very cold, cold to the enemy, and equally cold to his own soldiers (on the battlefield).

Of course, he would not exchange the lives of his soldiers for the lives of enemy soldiers. Wouldn't that be a betrayal?

If war were so simple, there wouldn't be so many famous generals and marshals!

Gu Zhan\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;Zhao Long is not famous in Zhongzhou yet. Many people in Shunguo know his name, but they are all ranked behind Gong Yi, Ma Teng and even Li Ye. He must be very dissatisfied with this situation. .

But this dissatisfaction cannot be blamed on Ma Teng and the others. He has indeed not fought a few outstanding battles before, and most of them cooperated with Gong Yi in some attention-grabbing battles.

Dongting County is where Zhao Long proved himself.

Ten days passed unknowingly, and the Qian and Shun armies were still engaged in a small-scale and not intense battle on Dongting Lake every day.

More than half a month of fighting made the soldiers on both sides familiar. After all, except for some unlucky ones, they met every day.

Separated by dozens or dozens of meters of lake, they fired several rounds of arrows at each other. If they were lucky, they would land on the opponent's warship. If they were not lucky, they would only land in the lake. There would be no other use than wasting the arrows.

Liu Jiwu has become more and more impatient in the past two days. There are still three days before Xu Fan agrees to join the army. The closer to this date, the more he feels that a crisis is brewing.

What are you waiting for?

He was waiting for Xu Fan to form an army and for the navy from the south to move north. What was Zhao Long waiting for?

After fighting for so long, the commanders of both sides have a relatively deep understanding of each other's situation.

If only the previous battles were counted, Liu Jiwu's reputation was still higher than that of Zhao Long.

After all, it had only been a few years since the emergence of the Qian Kingdom. Almost all the famous battles were fought by Gong Yi or Yang Yuan. Even Ma Teng fought more tough battles than Zhao Long.

But this does not mean that Zhao Long cannot fight, or that his achievements are less than those before him.

More than half of the Sifang Divine Beast Legion was trained by Zhao Long, and even now there is still a teaching group in the Sifang Divine Beast Legion.

All recruits who have just joined the legion must go to the teaching group. Only after receiving training from the teaching group can they be regarded as true legion soldiers.

At the same time, only the most elite warriors can join the teaching group.

Yang Yuan did not have so many imperial soldiers to form a teaching group for each legion. The imperial soldiers could only serve as the main force, supplementing the outstanding local warriors to form the most elite part of the legion.

Zhao Long's achievements are self-evident, and no one in the Qian Kingdom dares to underestimate the number one coach of the Four Directions Divine Beast Legion.

So what is he thinking about now?

Liu Jiwu is waiting for his navy training to be completed. What is he waiting for?

Are you also waiting for the naval training to be completed?

Obviously not.

Neither Yang Yuan nor Zhao Long wanted a quick navy. Although they were fighting on Dongting Lake every day these days, they had the idea of ​​​​training by fighting, but the ultimate goal was not to train an excellent navy.

Shenwuwei needs a naval force, but it will definitely not be trained from existing warriors.

The real navy of the Qian Kingdom has not yet been born.

Liu Jiwu was waiting, and so was Zhao Long.

But what he was waiting for was not the training of the navy, but the weather.

It may sound like a child's play. In a war that determines the fate of two countries, there is actually a country's coach waiting for the weather to arrive!

But it’s true!

Zhao Long was waiting for a suitable weather to launch a general offensive and invaded Nanhu County in one go.

Sneak attacks were not possible, so Liu Jiwu commanded the Shun army to build a large number of camps on the south bank of Dongting Lake, many of which were built into the lake.

It would take a lot of troops and time to sneak attack on so many camps, and it would be no less difficult than attacking directly from the lake.

It was better to wait for a suitable weather to implement his plan. This plan had been prepared when Zhao Long ordered the battle with Shun Army on the lake.

All is ready except for the opportunity!
