Wang Jun's navy is still stranded on the Yangtze River waterway, but most of the warships have been transferred to Ruxukou and are preparing to go up the river to launch an attack on Wuchang.

There are only about two or three hundred warships on the Jianye River today. Cao Liang issued an order to allocate two hundred ships to Yang Hu. He led by the naval commander Tan Kai, and went east along the Yangtze River, exited the Yangtze River estuary, and then moved along the seaside into Qiantang Bay.

There is a sea road to go from the estuary of the Yangtze River to Qiantang Bay, which is a test for the Wei naval fleet. After all, they have only practiced in the Yangtze River water system before and have never stepped into the vast sea. You must know that the wind and waves on the sea are much larger than those in the Yangtze River.

Fortunately, they walked along the seaside, and this route is relatively safe. It is not the season for typhoons, so most of the seas are calm, so it is not difficult for them to enter Qiantang Bay from the estuary of the Yangtze River.

For the navy, this is only their first step towards deep water. In the future, the Great Wei navy will not only have the ability to fight internal water, but also have the ability to sail and fight from afar. Cao Liang's vision is not only limited to the territory of the Wei, Shu and Wu Kingdom. The real world is a broad world with seven continents and four oceans. Even with the current transportation capabilities, Cao Liang could not enter many places, but sailing from afar is a bigger dream in Cao Liang's heart, and it may be worth the lifelong efforts of Cao Liang.

Of course, it is still very far away to talk about this now. To put it too early, Cao Liang is an extremely pragmatic person. The construction of the navy must move forward step by step. Any plucking seedlings or being ambitious will be accomplished without any success. The navy has a long way to go to the future to grow, but this move towards deep water and the sea is one of the most solid footprints in their future journey.

In the Battle of the Yangtze River, the navy was just a transporter, but in fact he did not participate in the water war. This attack on Qian Tang became the first real battle of the Wei navy, especially this will be the first joint battle between the Wei army and the land-based joint battle in the history of the Wei army. This battle is quite exciting.

Yang Hu received a reply from the court, so he felt relieved that as long as there were naval fleets to cooperate in combat, the plan of the Central Army to capture Qian Tang and cross Zhejiang was still easy to achieve.

However, it took a lot of time to get from Jianye to Qian Tanglai, and Yang Hu did not wait a moment, but led the Central Army to launch a tentative attack on Qian Tangcheng.

Lu Kai has been arriving in Qian Tang for some time. For a period of time, he has been committed to Qian Tang's city defense, and it is indeed effective. Qian Tang's city wall has been raised and thickened, and the city defense facilities have been relatively improved. Although most of the people led by Lu Kai are recruits, the quality of the troops guarding the city is not too high compared to field battles. As long as there are sufficient weapons and food and grass, Lu Kai is still very confident to defend Qian Tang.

Of course, one of the prerequisites here is that if the Wei army did not use catapult carts and other heavy equipment, the Wu army could succeed in sticking to it. Otherwise, the rammed earth wall like Qian Tang City would not be enough to fight against the Wei army's catapult carts. As long as the catapult carts fired in a row, I am afraid that Qian Tang's city wall would collapse.

However, the slightly better news is that the Wei army did not carry heavy equipment such as the catapult cart during this invasion of Jiangnan. In order to achieve the goal of rapid advancement, the Wei army walked lightly and only carried some simple siege equipment.

This is indeed good news for Lu Kai. Otherwise, once the catapulted cart is at the city, Lu Kai will take the initiative to give up Qian Tangcheng and retreat to Guling. The current Wu army is already afraid of the catapulted cart of the Wei army. Not to mention a confrontation, just looking at it would be enough to be scared.

The Wei army tentatively launched an attack on Qian Tang. The large number of horses and antlers arranged by Lu Kai in advance outside the city still played a significant role. These dense horses and antlers greatly hindered the Wei army's progress.

Although the Wei army invested in infantry rather than cavalry, and the damage caused by horse-rejecting horses and antlers was limited, if the Wei army wanted to advance, it had to clean up and destroy these red-rejecting antlers. These horse-rejecting horses and antlers were within the range of the Wu army's bows and arrows. If the Wei army wanted to move these things, they had to face the Wu army's cold arrows first.

With this wave of harvest alone, the Wu army shot and injured many Wei soldiers, which made the army supervisor Ding Gu very excited. It seemed that Lu Kai's method was good. Before the Wei army could attack the city, they lost a lot of people, which greatly increased the confidence of the Wu army to guard Qian Tang.

But Lu Kai was not happy at all. After all, the refusing horses and deer antlers could delay the Wei army's attack, but these things were one-time defensive weapons. As long as the Wei army was eliminated, the Wu army would not be able to deploy them again. With these refusing horses and deer antlers, it would certainly delay the Wei army for one or two days, but the Wei army would soon attack the city. Once the siege battle started, it would be the real test for the Wu army. It is still unknown which wins and who will lose.

Yang Hu was indeed not in a hurry. It took the Wei army two days to clean up these horses and deer antlers, and hundreds of people were killed and killed. Mainly when moving these horses and deer antlers, the Wei soldiers could not use their shields to effectively protect them, so they were injured by the sneak attacked cold arrows. In the end, Yang Hu mobilized a large number of crossbow soldiers to suppress the Wu army on the top of the city, so that they did not have the chance to shoot cold arrows. This was the only way to successfully remove these horses and deer antlers.

After the Wei army attacked the city, it immediately launched an attack on Qian Tangcheng. Although there were no heavy equipment such as the catapulted car siege car and crossbow chariot, the Wei army's offensive was still very strong, and the infantry battalion was still responsible for the main attack. They relied on their strong combat power to turn the tentative attack into a strong attack, which made the Wu army defending the city lose one's attention and be very busy.

The infantry battalion has always been the main force of the Wei army's infantry. It is covered with strong and sharp, and it is invincible to attack and fight. Not to mention a small Qiantang City, even those dangerous and famous cities and cities, and infantry battalions have been repeatedly captured. Every time they charge, they will rush to the front, bringing the shock and lethality to the enemy, which is unparalleled.

In the critical moment, Lu Kai led the way, rushed to the front, leading the Wu army to fight to the death, and finally resisted the first wave of attacks from the Wei army without any danger.
