After the Wei army won a complete victory in Jieyang, Wen Qin did not pursue the victory and advanced lightly. After all, Yang Hu's main army was still behind. If Wen Qin acted alone, he would definitely make the mistake of going deeper. So after taking Jieyang, he ordered the Cavalry Battalion to stop advancing and wait for the arrival of the main force of the Central Army.

The attack on Jieyang was a military action that Wen Qin took deliberately after finding out the situation of Wu's army's garrison in Jieyang. He asked Yang Hu's main force to suspend the action to avoid alarming the enemy. If Tao Huang finds that the 80,000 main force of the Wei army will come together, he will definitely be unwilling to fight and will only escape.

When only one battalion of the Xiaoqi Camp was indecisive, Tao Huang would hesitate and not know whether to retreat or defend. At this time, Wen Qin took advantage of his hesitation opportunity to launch an assault with the speed of the Xiaoqi Camp, and caught Tao Huang off guard.

The difference in military strength between the two sides was not big, but the combat power was not at the same level at all, so the Cavalry Battalion easily broke through the Wu army's defense line and severely damaged the enemy. If Tao Jun had not brought troops to support him, Wen Qin would have almost wiped out the Wu army in this battle.

Although it was escaped by Tao Huang and a few others, Jieyang still fought very well in this battle, and wiped out more than 10,000 Wu troops.

However, this is naturally nothing to do with the brilliant achievements of the Knight Camp. Wen Qin did not take it as a result and rush forward with light troops. Instead, he adopted the most reliable method to wait for Yang Hu's main force to arrive, and at the same time sent scouts to reconnaissance the situation in advance. Only after obtaining accurate intelligence information would he take the next action.

During this period, the Wu army was given the opportunity to move. When the Wei army vanguard arrived in Zengcheng, Panyu City had almost been emptied. After Wen Qin learned that the Wu army had moved to Xincheng, he immediately reported the latest situation to Yang Hu.

Yang Hu also arrived in Zengcheng quickly. Although it was a bit surprising that Shi Ji and Tao Ji gave up Panyu, Yang Hu did not care much. In Yang Hu's opinion, the Wu army had two options, one to stick to and the other to evacuate, so whether they stayed in Panyu or evacuate Panyu, they were all within Yang Hu's plan.

A little unexpected was that the Wu army did not flee far away, but evacuated on a sandbank that was only a few miles away from Panyu. This operation of the Wu army made many people unable to understand it.

Since we are going to retreat, why not retreat farther and only retreat a few miles. Wouldn't we retreat to silence?

However, when Yang Hu opened the map, he immediately realized that Panyu City was located on the east bank of Yushui. The Wei army launched an attack from east to west. It did not need to cross any water system to directly attack the city of Panyu. This was a disaster for the Wu army, which did not have any advantage in infantry and cavalry.

That's why the Wu army took the initiative to give up Panyu and evacuate everyone in Panyu City from a sandbank west of Panyu. It was surrounded by water on all sides and had a natural geographical barrier. It seemed that Shi Ji and Tao Ji were unwilling to give up Panyu so easily, so they went to the sandbank to stick to it.

But do they really think that they can survive by escaping to the sandbank? I have to say that this idea is very naive. Yang Hu smiled slightly and said, "Since they gave up Panyu City so generously, we will be disrespectful, pass on the orders and march into Panyu immediately."

Panyu City has indeed become an empty city. When the Wei army arrived in Panyu, the gates of Panyu were wide open, and the city was covered with garbage all over the ground. Except for some old, weak, sick and disabled, there was almost no one on the street.

The Wei army checked from door to door and found that nine out of ten rooms were empty, and all valuable things that could be moved were cleared out. Every household was in a mess. There was not even a chicken or a dog in the whole city, as if it was a locust passing through the border, and nothing was left.

It seems that the Wu army is trying to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, but the Wei army doesn't seem to care. This trick is completely within imagination, but for the Wei army, this is not a big deal. The Wei army has completely solved the problem of logistics supply through sea transportation. As long as the soldiers on the front line have food, food, clothes and clothes, there will be no worries.

However, it still takes some effort to destroy the Wu army. After all, there is a wide ray of turbulent water between the old and new cities in Panyu.

What's particularly disgusting is that Panyu New City is surrounded by water, and even on a river island, the Wei army could not attack the new city by land, so if they wanted to capture Panyu New City, how to cross the river was a problem that Yang Hu needed to solve urgently.

Zhang Tong said: "It seems that the only way to mobilize the navy is to catch turtles in the jar when the navy warship arrives."

The place where the Wu army is located seems to be surrounded by water on all sides, and the Wei army has nowhere to do it, but if the Wei army really had to transfer the naval fleet and surrounded it from all sides, no one of the more than 100,000 people in Panyu New City would have thought of running away.

Yang Hu shook his head gently. Although the Wei Navy was powerful, all the ships they used were river ships, with shallow drafts and unstable center of gravity. There were no big winds and waves in the rivers and lakes, and they could still travel across the rivers and lakes. However, once they arrived at the sea, with such big winds and waves, these river ships were difficult to drive at all.

If you unfortunately encounter strong winds and waves, it is very likely that the entire naval fleet will be destroyed.

This time, Yang Hu also saw the sea ships that transported grain, and realized the difference between river ships and sea ships. If he wanted to sail on the sea, the Wei army would have to specially build warships suitable for navigation, and this process could not be completed in one or two years. Therefore, the navy was really unable to help in this attack on Jiaozhou.

Zhang Tong couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. The Wei Navy is now very powerful. He defeated the Wu navy on the Yangtze River, and was invincible in the battle. If he could get the help of the navy, it would be completely easy to capture Jiaozhou.

But now the Wei army cannot use its strength, and can only rely on the power of the infantry and cavalry. However, the infantry and cavalry are not good at water battles. No matter how powerful it is on the land, there is no way to do it on the water. Look at the vast width of the Yushui estuary, it is not inferior to the Yangtze River. It is definitely difficult for the Wei army to cross the Yushui River.

Yang Hu was calm and did not rush to launch an attack. Instead, he went around Panyu in person and checked the geography of Panyu. Indeed, in the area of ​​Yushui River, the water network was intertwined, and the infantry and cavalry had no place to use their skills. If you want to take Panyu New City, you can only find a way on the waterway.
