Five days later, the vanguard army was approaching Nanpi. With the help of the cement road, the army was moving twice as fast as before. The vanguard army did not have to worry about opening roads through the mountains. They only needed to move forward and convey the surrounding situation to the army.

Just make sure that no young people will come to cause trouble as the following army moves forward.

This is also the reason why cement roads are also popular in the territories governed by princes. Whether it is mobilizing large armies or mobilizing food, grass and baggage, the speed is unmatched in the past, which is of great significance for large army operations.

Jiangdong Army and Zhou Yu looked solemn after learning the news from the scouts. The Jizhou Army actually chose to dispatch at this time.

After the Jizhou Army was dispatched, the Jiangdong Army stepped up its offensive. However, Nanpi City was still impregnable in the hands of Qianzhao. It had been nearly thirty days since they attacked Nanpi, but Qianzhao relied on five thousand soldiers and horses.

, blocked the attack of 50,000 Jiangdong Army, and caused considerable losses to Jiangdong Army.

However, if the current situation continues, Zhou Yu will be able to seize Nanpi City from Qianzhao's hands in at most half a month. Jiangdong Army's various attacks will continue to consume the Jizhou Army's strength and occupy the largest number of people.

The Jiangdong Army, which has an absolute advantage, has an advantage that the Jizhou Army cannot match in such a battle.

However, if the city cannot be breached for a long time, it will be a huge trouble for Jiangdong Army. After Nanpi City falls into its hands, even if the Jizhou Army arrives, Jiangdong Army will be able to resist with ease.

The current situation is to conquer Nanpi. Otherwise, after the Jizhou army arrives, the Jiangdong Army's only option is to confront the Jin army head-on.

In the past, Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce and led his troops to attack Huguan. On the battlefield at Huguan, Zhou Yu felt the madness of the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army. After many years, Jiangdong Army once again stood on the opposite side of Lu Bu. Zhou Yu will definitely be more

of caution.

"General, the Jizhou army has dispatched more than 20,000 men, and Chaoge has Xiahou Dun leading the army to attack. As long as Xiahou Dun can break through Chaoge City, the Jizhou army will be shaken. Yecheng is the prefecture of Jizhou. Once it is besieged by Cao's army, all the people in Jizhou will be destroyed.

People are panicking, and those aristocratic families hiding in the dark might stand up and demand justice at this time." Lu Su said.

"Nanpi City is so difficult to break, let alone Chaoge. Chaoge is close to Ye City. Zhang Liao attaches great importance to Chaoge. Before he led the army to the expedition, he sent two thousand troops to Chaoge City. In this way, Xiahou Dun wanted to

It will be even more difficult to defeat Chaoge." Zhou Yu said.

Through the battle against Jizhou, Zhou Yu felt the strength of the generals of the Jizhou army. Both Zhu Ling and Qianzhao were not well-known before. However, in this battle, Qianzhao and Zhu Ling showed their ability as generals.

No matter what the outcome of this battle is, the reputation of the two people will definitely become more resounding. This is the charm of war.

There are many talents under Lu Bu's command. Zhou Yu knows this. Jiangdong has experienced very few wars, which also provides a good foundation for the number of talents in Jiangdong. However, at the level of generals, there is indeed a big gap between Jiangdong and Jin.

, just in terms of paying attention to generals, what Lu Bu did was difficult for other princes to compare with.

In terms of the army system, it is difficult for other princes to compare with the Jin army, and on the battlefield, the Jin army's new combat effectiveness is extremely powerful. This is also an important reason why the Jin army has won wars time and time again.

"Commander, now that the Jizhou army has arrived, what should our army do?" Lu Su asked.

When the generals heard this, they all turned their attention to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was silent for a long time and said: "Does our army have any other options in this battle? Jiangdong Army has an absolute advantage in numbers, so why should we fear the mere Jizhou Army?"

The generals in the army were full of confidence when they heard this. Over the years, Zhou Yu has led the army to achieve many victories. This is also the reason for Zhou Yu's high prestige in the army. Although Zhou Yu chose to retreat in the battle in Jingzhou, the generals in the army

But I can understand the situation of the army at that time.

"Follow the governor's orders." Zhou Tai said solemnly.

Jiang Qin and other generals heard this and were unwilling to be outdone and agreed one after another.

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "With your help, why worry about not being able to defeat the enemy."

After the general left, Lu Su did not choose to leave. The arrival of the Jizhou Army gave him a bad feeling. The Jizhou Army decided to dispatch, and he must be confident. The current Jiangdong Army did occupy the largest number of troops.

With the advantage, on the sea, there are soldiers of the Jizhou Army active. They are looking for opportunities to fight. As long as the opportunity arises, they will step forward.

The activities of the navy led by Gan Ning on the water did indeed cause a lot of trouble to the Jiangdong Army, and doing this kind of thing was Gan Ning's specialty. Even if he sent a large army to find traces of Gan Ning, it would be difficult to succeed.

, Besides, Zhu Zhi has five thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and the troops in Gan Ning's hands are also not weak. If possible, Gan Ning might lead a large army to fight.

It's just that the Jiangdong Army currently has an absolute advantage on the warships. If Gan Ning leads the army, it will be difficult to gain too much advantage. Otherwise, Zhou Yu believes that with Gan Ning's temperament, he would have rushed forward and led the army from Gan Ning.

It can be seen from the naval attack on the warship that Gan Ning will not give up easily as long as the opportunity arises.

Zhou Yu agreed with Gan Ning's ability to lead the navy in combat. His leadership of the navy in combat gave people the impression of being disorganized. However, during the battle, he allowed Jizhou's navy to demonstrate its strong combat effectiveness.

Such generals are also terrifying.

Especially Gan Ning's past experiences have made Gan Ning develop a tough character. As long as he has soldiers and warships in his hands, Gan Ning will not give up easily. He will lead the soldiers in the army to fight hard.

Anyone who fights against such enemy generals will feel troubled.

Therefore, Zhou Yu's order to Zhu Zhi was to ensure the safety of food and grass, leaving Gan Ning to lead the navy. As long as Gan Ning dared to advance with the army, Jiangdong Army's advantage in warships could easily defeat the Jizhou navy.

After the first batch of grain and grass from Jiangdong was safely delivered to the army, Zhou Yu was relieved. Food and grass were indispensable when the army went on an expedition. Gan Ning's activities on the water did cause a lot of trouble to Jiangdong's army, but

It is not an easy task to find Jiangdong's army's team transporting grain and grass on the water. Besides, Jiangdong attaches great importance to the transportation of grain and grass, and he will definitely not give Gan Ning an opportunity to take advantage of it.
