Chapter 1935 Enemies on both sides

The battle on Qian Tangjiang received Lu Kai's attention from the beginning. Originally, Lu Kai was staring at the Wei army's land siege troops, but for some reason, the Wei army stopped the attack after launching a full-scale attack. Did the Wei army retreat in a difficult situation?

Although the Wei army did not launch an attack again, they camped under Qiantang City, fiercely and could not let Lu Kai rest for a moment.

Ding Gu suggested to Lu Kai that he could follow the example of Gan Ning's deeds in defeating Cao's soldiers, take advantage of the opportunity when the Wei army was not yet stable, and he would go out of the city to attack in the middle of the night, which could also kill the Wei army's spirit and alleviate the crisis situation of Qian Tang.

Lu Kai sneered. It seemed that Ding Gu was just a show. He thought that what Gan Ning could accomplish back then could do it now, but he didn't know that Gan Ning's robbery of Cao's camp was a matter of occasional occasions, and such success was almost unreplicable.

Now the leader of the Wei army is Yang Hu. He is a war-going general with extremely rich combat experience. Maybe Yang Hu is waiting outside the city at this moment, waiting for them to take the bait. If Lu Kai sends troops to attack at this time, it is likely that the sheep will enter the tiger's mouth and will go but never return.

Originally, the number of soldiers and horses of Qian Tang was far inferior to that of the Wei army. Once the Wu army failed to attack, the loss would not only be the soldiers and horses, but also easily shake the morale of the army. Once the morale of the army was shaken, Qian Tang City would be not too far away from being lost.

Therefore, Lu Kai not only flatly denied Ding Gu's suggestion of sneak attack, but Lu Kai also did not dare to take it lightly. Although the Wei army suspended the attack at this moment, no one could guarantee when they would launch an attack again and maintain a tight alert state is what the Wu army needs to do most at present.

At this moment, Lu Kai's attention was completely attracted to the Wei army garrison north of Qian Tang. As for the dangers from other aspects, he was completely unknown.

When his subordinates panic reported to him that the Wei army launched an attack on Qian Tangjiang's Wu army from the waterway, Lu Kai was first shocked. He then realized the seriousness of the matter. The Wei army's move was completely a waste of money. Once the Wei army cut off the liaison and transportation between Qian Tang and Guling, the Qian Tang army would inevitably fall into a dilemma of isolation and helplessness. It was only a matter of time before Qian Tang's loss.

Therefore, this water transportation line is the lifeline of the Wu army, and it is absolutely impossible to miss it. After hearing this news, Lu Kai rushed to the riverside immediately, but checked the situation of the water war.

In fact, Lu Kai's belief in the navy is far greater than that of the army, so even if the navy is attacked by the Wei army on the river near Qiantang, Lu Kai seems to have nothing to worry about or fear. After all, with the strength of the Wu army's water battle, defeating the Wei army is a handful.

Unfortunately, after rushing to the riverside, Lu Kai was shocked. The scene in front of him was very different from what he imagined. Wu Shujun lost a lot and suffered heavy losses. Wei Shujun took advantage of the victory and completely controlled the battle situation on the river.

Lu Kai was completely confused. He really couldn't figure out why the Wu naval army was so defeated. Everyone knew that the Wei naval army was established only more than a year, and it took more than a year to train a decent naval army. Isn't that nonsense?

If the navy was so easy to train, the navy of the Wu Kingdom would not have dominated Jiangdong for so many years.

"Where is Xiu Ze? Take him to see someone!" Lu Kai was a little angry. Xiu Ze was responsible for the fleet on the water. Now that he has been defeated by the Wei army, Lu Kai has to ask only the only question.

Soon Xiu Ze was brought to Lu Kai. When the Wei army attacked, Xiu Ze did want to form a naval army to intercept it. However, the tide on the river was rising and huge waves were surging. The Wu army's warships were not controlled at all. They were caught off guard by the Wei army, and the entire naval army was almost completely lost. Xiu Ze also fought to escape to his life, so he escaped ashore and saved his life.

At this time, Xiu Ze looked extremely embarrassed. He explained the situation like Lu Kai that it was not the Wu army's naval army, but the Wei army launched an attack very suddenly. It was the opportunity of Qian Tangjiang's rising tide that he suddenly launched an attack. The Wu army not only had to deal with the Wei army's warships, but also had to deal with the surging tide, and could not take into account both. Therefore, the failure of the Wu army was not accidental.

Hundreds of ships finally escaped only twenty or thirty, and the Wu Navy was completely finished.

After listening to Xiu Ze's statement, Lu Kai was inexplicably surprised that the tide of Qian Tangjiang has always been very famous, and no one has ever dared to stand on the tide and make waves. Therefore, the failure of the Wu Navy this time was really helpless.

It was not that the Wu army did not do its best, nor that the Wu army's navy deliberately escaped at the battle. However, the Wei army would cleverly use the Chaos to launch an attack, which made Lu Kai sigh. Originally, the Wu army thought that the Qian Tangjiang Chao was a unique defensive method of the Wu army, but he did not expect that the Wei army was more skilled and took great risks to attack, and actually won a complete victory.

Lu Kai was originally planning to settle the score with Xiu Ze, but after hearing the whole story, Lu Kai had no other thoughts except for a sigh.

In fact, the navy is the key to Qian Tang's defense. Only by ensuring the smooth waterway can the Wu army advance, attack, retreat or defend. In case Qian Tang's war is unfavorable, they can also calmly retreat from Zhejiang to Guling. This strategic defense was carefully arranged by Lu Kai to ensure the success of the entire Qian Tang defense.

However, after the Wei army defeated the Qiantang naval army, it was equivalent to cutting off the Wu army's retreat. The Wu army stationed in Qiantang immediately fell into a state of being surrounded by enemies. This result undoubtedly greatly affected the morale of the Wu army, which would harm Qiantang's defense without any benefit.

The Wei army under Qiantang City was eyeing covetously, and the Wei army on Qiantang River was also eyeing covetously. Lu Kai was attacked from both sides, and the originally optimistic situation instantly became pessimistic. Although Lu Kai did not know when the Wei army would launch a general attack, once the waterway was cut off, the defeat of the Wu army was only a matter of time.

More importantly, Qiantang City is now hanging alone in the north of the Yangtze River and has no way out. These Wu troops trapped in Qiantang have long become turtles in the jar and fish in the net, and even the chance to escape.

As soon as the news spread, the Wu army was in panic and the morale of the army collapsed in an instant. However, facing the Wei army attacked from front and back, they had no chance to escape. They were all wailing in despair and were extremely depressed.

The Wei army did not give them time, but thought. While the navy was winning a complete victory, Yang Hu had ordered the infantry to launch a full-scale attack, and the Wei army rushed to Qiantang City like a tide.
