Chapter 376 The war is coming.

Liangjiangkou, Qin army camp.

Li Chen was wearing a black golden python robe and sat upright in the central army's tent. There were more than ten command arrows placed on the crime.

"Gan Ning obeyed the order!" Li Chen issued an order and said.

"I will obey the orders at the end." Gan Ning stepped out of the line and knelt on one knee and said.

"I ordered you to lead Jinfan Camp and 20,000 soldiers to land on the beach from the left wing!" Li Chen picked up a command arrow and threw it to Gan Ning.

"The last general will receive the order!" Gan Ning took the order and returned to his position.

"Qi Jiguang listened to the order." Li Chen continued to issue orders.

"The last one will be here." Qi Jiguang also stood up and left the line, kneeling on one knee.

"I ordered you to lead 20,000 soldiers to land on the right wing!" Li Chen picked up a command arrow and threw it to Qi Jiguang.

"The last general will receive the order!" Qi Jiguang answered the order.

"Grandmaster, the 30,000 central troops will be given to you for command. Let's land from the front." Li Chen handed another arrow to Zheng Chenggong.

After the mission of the navy was arranged, Li Chen turned his head and said to Chen Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, all the army is ready. Once the navy successfully lands in the beach, the subsequent task of siege and destruction of the city will be handed over to your army."

"Don't worry, King Qin, our army is always ready." Chen Qingzhi promised.

Li Chen did not assign specific tasks to the army, but only asked them to prepare for war at all times. Whether the army can use it depends on whether the navy's landing can be smooth. If you can't even wait on land, even if there are many army, you can't use it.

Li Chen glanced at the generals and said in a very serious tone: "Everyone, we will fight to the foot of Chanling City before dawn tomorrow. I wonder if you have confidence."

"I will win! I will win!"

"I will win! I will win!"

"I will win! I will win!"

The Qin generals bent their arms to their chests and shouted loudly.

At this time, the morale of the Qin generals was very high, which shows that Li Chen's corporate culture was still quite good.

"At noon, all the navy ships retreated from Liangjiangkou, giving the Wu army the illusion that our army would return to Xiaopei."

"After it got dark, everyone supported the raft and the boat and returned, and caught me off guard." Li Chen finally ordered the generals.

At noon, the Qin army, as planned, turned into a rear army, and the rear army turned into a front army, slowly retreating from Liangjiangkou.

Chanling County, by the river, the central army tent.

There are still more than ten miles from the riverside to Chanling County. Now Chanling is almost a line of defense arranged by the Eastern Wu.

When they attacked the riverside to Chanling City, they were responsible for defense and guarding the city, and had an army of nearly 400,000. In fact, the waterway army of the Eastern Wu and Qin Army is not much different now. Of course, in comparison, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is far stronger than that of the Eastern Wu army.

"Grandmaster, Governor!"

"Good news, good news."

"The Qin army withdrew. It seems that Mr. Zhuge's plan has taken effect." Lu Su walked out excitedly and said to Zhou Yu.

After hearing this news, Zhou Yu was not happy, but instead felt a little worried.

"Grandmaster, what's wrong with you?" Lu Su asked in confusion.

Lu Su also muttered in his heart, thinking, "The Grand Governor's expression was normal when I first came." What's wrong? When I said that the Qin army had withdrawn, I felt sad.

"Zijing, I dare not be careless."

"I guess, the Qin army will launch a general attack tonight." Zhou Yu said with a serious expression.

"Governor, are you confused?"

"I mean the Qin army has returned to Xiaopei to aid him. Why do you say they are going to launch a general attack?"

"I said that the Qin army has no small boats, how can we cross Liangjiangkou?" Lu Su asked in confusion.

Lu Su looked confused and thought to himself, what's wrong with the current governor? He is like an outsider who doesn't know how to fight. The Qin army has left, how can he launch a general attack?

"Zijing, you don't understand the King of Qin."

"Why did King Li Chen, Qin, have fought such a battle without fighting? If Li Chen, who was retreating last time, I would not doubt it."

"Now he retreats without fighting, most of them are deceitful. In my opinion, he is using his retreat to make us relax our vigilance. Then, give us a sudden attack!" Zhou Yu said to Lu Su.

It's true that Zhou Yu obviously studied Li Chen seriously. He knew Li Chen's playing style very well. Therefore, he guessed Li Chen's thoughts.

Of course, Li Chen didn't think that he could hide it from Zhou Yu so simply. What Li Chen wanted was to make the Wu army soldiers careless.

You know, the withdrawal of the Qin army will inevitably spread throughout the Wu army camp. Even wise men like Lu Su have negligent intentions, let alone ordinary soldiers.

"Governor, this is not possible!"

"The Qin naval army is mainly large ships, and there are not many small boats. Their small boats can only make more than 10,000 people land around the river. We have arranged more than 10,000 naval troops along the river. How can they break through our defense?" Lu Su asked in confusion.

Zhou Yu didn't know how the Qin army solved the problem of ships. Zhou Yu racked his brains and couldn't figure out how these cattle and sheepskins could be used as ships.

Although I can't figure it out, this did not affect Zhou Yu's attention to Li Chen. He said seriously: "Zijing, I'll order all troops on the riverside to strengthen my defense tonight. If the Qin army wants to land, it will definitely be tonight."

Zhou Yu's order was conveyed, but the Eastern Wu navy on the river did not take it seriously.

Because all the Qin army's ships have withdrawn from Liangjiangkou, this is something that someone has seen with his own eyes. Since the Qin army has left, who can believe that they will attack?

After the order was conveyed, Zhou Yu paced back and forth in the central army's tent. For some reason, he always felt uneasy.

Now, there are more than 100,000 troops arranged by the river, and there are more than 100,000 troops inside and outside Chanling City. The army of 300,000 to 400,000 is in the hands, but Zhou Yu is still uneasy.

This battle can be said to be the battle of national fortune of the Eastern Wu. If this battle is lost, Chanling City will be destroyed. Then the Eastern Wu will face a situation where there is no soldiers available. At that time, the Eastern Wu will be a girl who has been forced to a dead end for the Qin army, and can only allow the Qin army to conquer the city and territorial land.

"Four generals, I conclude that the Qin army will definitely attack tonight. Now the soldiers in the army are relaxed. If something goes wrong, it will be a big deal."

"Your General Huang personally guard the front tonight, and you two, Mr. Han and Mr. Zu, will guard the left and right respectively."

"General Cheng, you guard the city of Chanling."

After assigning the task, Zhou Yu continued: "Three generals, if the line on the river is broken, remember not to return to Chanling City. You will scatter along the river to the other county towns."

"In order to prevent the Qin army from pretending to be our defeated army and betray the city, all defeated troops are not allowed to return to Chanling County. If there are defeated soldiers, Old General Cheng must not open the city gate and should shoot it with random arrows."

Zhou Yu learned from his mistakes. The last time the Qin army used this method to burn the food and grass of Fankoushui Village. He could not have fallen twice in this same pit.

Zhou Yu's advice made Huang Gai blush. Last time, Qin Jun was able to burn Fankou's granary, but he was a key figure.

"Everyone, you must not be negligent in the battle of national destiny." Zhou Yu ordered everyone.

After some advice, the four veterans of the Eastern Wu also went to prepare for each of them.
