Chapter 753 Battle of Dongting Lake 11

When the sun completely set, the war in Nanhu County came to an end.

Zhao Long could only say that he was basically satisfied with the results achieved by the Qian army, which was so-so.

The pre-war goals have basically been achieved. Although they failed to capture several large military forts, they have also established a firm foothold on the south bank.

Zhao Long was also dissatisfied. "Just standing firm is not enough. We must vigorously squeeze the space of the Shun army and let Shi Kuan's people attack the hinterland of Nanhu County to force the Shun army to abandon the military fortress on the shore."

It is not wise to storm the large military stronghold of Shunjun. Even if there are siege equipment, it will cause a lot of casualties.

The best way is to mobilize the loyal troops in the military strongholds, so that those military strongholds will naturally collapse without attack.

Of course, this is just Zhao Long's beautiful idea. Shunjun will definitely not transfer all the troops in the large military camp as he wishes.

Liu Jiwu: It took me a lot of effort to build this, but you can just transfer it if you want?

The construction method of Ganjun is not easy to imitate. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Money and food are always an unavoidable topic.

The military fort built with a lot of money, food and manpower was easily given up to others?

No matter who you are, you won’t be willing to accept it.

Besides, it's not like a large military stronghold cannot be defended. The walls of the military stronghold are all made of bluestone and masonry. They are very strong and can last for a long time even with siege equipment.

After all, Qianjun's siege equipment is not a sniper rifle, and it is impossible to hit one location accurately.

Some strong walls can withstand large siege engines for months.

Shunjun's large-scale military stronghold will definitely not work. Although it is called a large-scale military stronghold, it is actually only the size of a small city, with less than 200 acres including farmland.

This is the ultimate of what Liu Jiwu can do.

Being able to build so many large military forts in a few months has exhausted the potential of Nanhu County.

There won’t be one more!

However, no matter how the Shun army reacted, Zhao Long would let Qian's army attack the hinterland of Nanhu County.

Hanging around Dongting Lake all the time, they almost turned into fishermen.

Not to mention, the fish and shrimp in Dongting Lake taste really good. Zhao Long thinks that in the future, he can send someone to purchase a batch of fish and shrimp from Dongting County on a regular basis to supplement the military rations of the Shenwu Guards.

It's just that the preservation technology is not up to par, and I don't know if it will still be delicious after being transported to the royal capital.

It will be much more convenient when the new capital is confirmed in the future. No matter where the new capital is, it will definitely be closer to Dongting Lake than Qianyang City.

Qian Jun's actions did not exceed Liu Jiwu's expectations. Why was Nanhu County so difficult to defend?

Mostly because Dongting Lake is too big and there are too many places to go ashore, especially several ferries with good terrain. Once occupied, Nanhu County will open its door and cannot defend it at all.

The fighting could easily spread to other cities in the county.

Of course, the city of Nanhu County does not lose its combat effectiveness without the defense line on the shore. The Ganjun army's invasion of Nanhu County is still a difficult battle.

After more than a month of boring water battles, Ganjun finally invaded the land of Nanhu County.

Although the water war for more than a month was not fierce, it still played a great role in promoting the development of Qianguo's navy.

Shenwuwei soldiers are not slow to learn. As long as there are enough warships in the future, Shenwuwei will soon be able to form a qualified naval force.

Just being qualified is not considered excellent.

It is better to have imperial naval soldiers, so as to form an overwhelming advantage over the naval forces of other countries.

Now it is so difficult to fight Shun Guo's navy, even if it is not a navy. It should be so difficult to fight Shun Guo on the water. How to fight against Chu State's navy in the future?

Training! Training!

We must develop a navy army, a powerful navy army!

Gu Bei\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;However, this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Long for the time being, and it is not his task to train the navy army.

His mission was to eliminate the Shun army in Nanhu County and occupy Nanhu County.

In the evening, Qianjun's offensive gradually stopped, but the fighting in some areas was not over yet.

Some generals of the Shun army wanted to drive the Qian army off the lake while their foothold was still uncertain.

Liu Jiwu's military order was a bit slow and did not spread to all the military camps on the shore.

Qianjun will definitely not back down. As long as you follow the army and dare to fight, I will accompany you.

Throughout the night, the main forces of both sides were resting, but the fighting continued.

The sporadic fighting last night ended only when the sun came out the next day and larger-scale fighting began.

The Shun army retreated to the military camp. If they didn't go back, they would be surrounded by the Qian army.

Don't think that the Shun Army has a strength advantage of 100,000 and the Qian Army has only 40,000.

The Shun Army is on the defensive side. There are too many places to defend and their troops are scattered.

The Ganjun army does not have this disadvantage. They only need to gather strength, specialize in one point, attack non-stop, and attack again!

Liu Jiwu ordered the Shun army to abandon part of the military camp yesterday because he did not want the Qian army to defeat them one by one.

As long as several large military strongholds on the shore are not breached, and with the cooperation of some of the military strongholds, Qian's army will not dare to easily invade the hinterland.

If you are not careful, your escape route will be cut off, and the Shenwu Guards may be completely cut off from supplies.

It is not easy to transport supplies from Dongting County to Nanhu County.

Zhao Long didn't know that Liu Jiwu ordered Xu Fan to train a new naval force.

After Xu Fan was defeated by the scout battalion, he consciously hid his actions. He would not completely trust even those within the Shun Army.

Xu Fan: There must be spies from the Qian Kingdom within our army, otherwise the whereabouts of our navy would not have been exposed so quickly!

He has received Liu Jiwu's order and is looking for opportunities on Dongting Lake with the navy that has completed training.

The messenger sent not only Liu Jiwu's orders, but also the battle reports of the Qian and Shun armies.

Xu Fan knew that it was useless to go to the frontal battlefield. Yesterday, Qian's army used the north wind to attack Nanhu County in one fell swoop. Although there was no north wind today, Xu Fan still had no intention of facing Qian's army head-on.

"The Qian munitions have a lot of gunpowder and are good at using gunpowder. It would be unwise to confront them head-on. It would be best for us to look for fighter planes on Dongting Lake and support Liu Shuai from the outside."

Xu Fan thought clearly that the current battle situation has changed. Qian's army has invaded Nanhu County, so the battle on Dongting Lake can no longer be a frontal battle and must become more flexible.

"It is impossible for the cadres of Nanhu County to cross the lake with a large amount of food. In the past two days, the cadres of Dongting County will definitely transport food and grass to Nanhu County. Our opportunity has come!"

With Xu Fan's naval force present, Ganjun's grain transport fleet is indeed at great risk.

It is impossible for Zhao Long to use a fleet of ten thousand people to escort the grain transport team.

There were too few ships escorting the grain transport team and they were no match for Xu Fan.

Although Xu Fan's navy army did not train for a long time, it was definitely stronger than the dry army.

If Liu Jiwu hadn't transferred some of Shun's warships to Xu Fan, Qian's army might have had to put in more effort to invade Nanhu County yesterday.

But it's not bad to give them to Xu Fan, now their role can be highlighted.

And more importantly, Qian Jun still doesn't know that Xu Fan has a new navy.

Their future has endless possibilities!
