Chapter 2299 Yangtze River Water War (Part 1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The eight thousand ownerless Tang army was surrounded by the Sui army and quickly surrendered.  Liang Jun surrendered, and few people were willing to lose their lives for Li Tang.

    This also shows that Li Tang¡¯s rule in Jingxiang was actually like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. It seemed to have a vast territory, but it did not take root at all.  If Li Shimin was given some time, he might change, but unfortunately Li Shimin didn't have that time.

    Having defeated the Tang army, Chen would not stop defeating the enemy.  He ordered Guo Hua to lead some troops to go south to Lizhou and surround the Tang army in Jingnan from the side.  Chen Kedi himself led the main force to attack Bailizhou behind Jiangling.

    Chen Kedi knew very well that in order to defeat Jiangling, he must first defeat the Tang Navy.  Otherwise, it would be impossible to completely annihilate the main force of the Tang army in Jiangling.

    The navy of the Tang Army was stationed in Bailizhou.

    Bailizhou is located fifty miles west of Jiangling City. It is famous for its circumference of more than a hundred miles and is known as the first continent in the Yangtze River.

    After Xu Shao took over the naval force, he chose Bailizhou instead of Jiangling or Yiling as the naval base because of its location advantage in being separated from the land.

    Since Li Shimin conquered Jiangling, all eight thousand naval divisions of the Tang Army were stationed here.

    Li Shimin didn¡¯t have many naval forces, and he didn¡¯t dare to waste them. He usually treated his navy as a treasure, so these 8,000 navy troops didn¡¯t fight too many water battles.  Moreover, some of the elites who can fight have been enriched in the Mianzhou Navy and Ezhou Navy in the early stage, so among the remaining group of people, the only ones with combat effectiveness are some of the original Kiazhou Navy.

    For troops coming from the east, if they want to attack Bailizhou, they must first pass through Jiangling City.  Jiangling City has many soldiers and horses, and it is not a place that can be conquered in a single battle, so neither Li Shimin nor Xu Shao have much worry about Bailizhou's safety.

    Chen Kedi also thought about attacking Jiangling City first, but he quickly gave up this idea.

    Jiangling City is a large city that has been operated by the Southern Dynasty for hundreds of years. The city is strong and cannot be captured in a short time.  The navy of the Tang Army was in Bailizhou, located upstream and overlooking the Sui Army. It could attack the Sui Army behind the siege at any time, making it impossible for the Sui Army to take care of both the head and tail.

    Therefore, Chen Kedi decided to defeat the Tang Navy first, and then turn back to attack Jiangling City.  &#24378&#29306&#32&#32&#35835&#29306

    Everyone was shocked by Chen Kedi's idea.

    Bailizhou is to the west of Jiangling. It is not difficult to raid Bailizhou, but it is easily discovered by the Tang army in Jiangling.  When the time comes, the beacon smoke will not be able to hide it from the navy of the Tang Army.

    And rashly heading west, if the Tang army cannot completely annihilate the Tang army's navy, the Tang army will attack from Jiangling and attack the Sui army behind it, and the Sui army's navy will be surrounded.

    But Chen Kedi didn¡¯t care.

    "Even if the Tang army finds out, as long as our army works hard and annihilates all the enemy forces, we don't have to worry about the Jiangling City defenders and can in turn surround them."

    Everyone was even more puzzled after hearing this.

    You can win with just one go. The navy of the Tang Army is not a fool, but it can't run away even if it can't be beaten.

    ¡°However, no one dared to disobey Chen Kedi¡¯s order.

    Of course Chen Kedi would not fight the enemy with all his courage, let alone a strong defensive player like Xu Shao.

    Chen Kedi first asked Mai Mengcai to lead the 59th Army to cross the Yangtze River and attack Bailizhou from the south bank of the Yangtze River.  It's about a hundred miles from Gong'an County to Bailizhou, so it's not too far.

    Since the Jiangxia War, the 59th Army has (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
