Wujiang Camp.

Ten princes sat around.

King Xiang Wu of Chu, King Xiang Sui of Zhao, King Xiang Ju of Linzi, King Xiang Piguang of Jinan, King Xiang Ang of Jiaoxi, King Xiang Xiongqu of Jiaodong, King Xiang Ci of Lujiang, etc., a total of ten princes.

Their strengths vary in size, including King Chu and King Zhao, who are the strongest, roughly equal, each with nearly 100,000 troops. The rest ranged from 40,000 to 50,000, with few elite soldiers and mostly miscellaneous soldiers.

The Wujiang Camp has now gathered up to 500,000 soldiers, including about 100,000 elite soldiers and more than 400,000 miscellaneous soldiers.

"Didn't Huainan King Xiang Anshi come?"

"Hmph, don't mention it. A waste who is very ambitious and talented and has a higher vision than his top, was under house arrest by his prime minister and counselor Wu Liang before he could raise an army.

"Where is Xiang Jian, King of Qi?"

"He said he was sick and could not come... He didn't even send his generals. This disease must be an excuse. He must have known that after the court destroyed the King of Wu, he regretted it and escaped in the last battle!"

"This idiot, the rebel will die. If this battle is about to fail, he will die as well as the King of Qi! How could the court let him go?! Stupid!"

"The most useless one is Xiang Fei, the king of Zhongshan. He was in the Jinling imperial capital and did not participate in the rebellion. At this moment, I am afraid that it was like the emperor kneeling down and crying and begging for mercy."

The princes cursed loudly.

However, if the King of Qi never came, they had no choice.

Now the imperial army will soon cross the river and head north, and will first resist the imperial court. It will not bother to deal with the King of Qi.

"Forget it if you don't come, let's beat us! After fighting this world, I will go back and deal with them!"

King Xiang Wu of Chu pointed to a huge map on the table and asked the princes and kings, "Everyone, what do you think of this battle?"

King Xiang of Zhao then thought about it, carried his hands on his back, and said, "There are two most classic battles in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" of the Art of War.

One of them was the Eighteenth Kanto coalition of the princes of Kanto attacked the Hulao Pass, which Dong Zhuo occupied. As a result, the Tenth Kanto coalition of the princes was defeated and lost to Dong Zhuo.

The second is the Battle of Red Cliff between Cao Cao and Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Cao Cao's army crossed the river with 800,000 troops, and was defeated in the Red Cliff and was burned by warships.

As long as you crack the two battles written by Xiao Hunhou, you can guess his way of using troops."

All the princes nodded.

Nowadays, we must read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Xiao Hunhou, a new generation of war god Xiao Hunhou. This wonderful book of military arts covers almost all aspects of military arts, tactics, political struggles, psychology, etc., and can be regarded as a complete collection of military arts.

“It’s so similar!”

"We have a army of 500,000 ten princes to fight against Xiaohunhou, just like defeating Dong's thief! It happened to be in the river, which is very similar to the Battle of Chibi. Our team joined forces to attack Cao Cao across the river."

"This is clearly a combination of the Battle of Hulao Pass and the Battle of Chibi. His little Hunhou is Dong Bid, Cao Cao. Our ten princes face the side of Xiao Hunhou."

King Xiang Piguang of Jinan sighed with great emotion.

"The situation is extremely complicated at the moment and must be treated with caution. Please wait, let me see how it is written in the book and how to defeat the enemy!"

In the camp, the princes couldn't help but silence, put them on their thrones of the princes, and silently took out the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from their sleeves.

Anyway, the 500,000 troops from the allied forces of the ten vassals had gathered in the Wujiang camp, and the court army of Xiaohunhou had never appeared.

They were not in a hurry either and had plenty of time to discuss combat plans.

The sound of flipping through the book is swishing.

Occasionally, one or two awesome sounds of exclamation, with a happy expression, immersed in it and couldn't extricate yourself.

But soon found something wrong and quickly kept silent.

After one hour.

The eyes of King Xiang Wu of Chu flashed in his eyes, and he coughed, saying, "I have a little experience in view of the military tactics of the Three Kingdoms, so I can discuss it together."

"Please say it!"

"The method of water war lies in the ship. Xiao Hunhou led an army of 100,000 to 200,000, and needed a large number of ships, hundreds or thousands of large ships. If he could burn his ship across the river, he would definitely be defeated! The core of this battle was to burn the ship."

"This method is feasible!"

"Prepare a large amount of ignition oil arrows, combustible oil and fire straw boats, and prepare to burn the imperial court's crossing warships! As long as Xiao Hunhou did not let him go ashore, no matter how great his ability he had, he would not be able to play out."

"Not bad! We quickly built a large number of combustible boats. In the river, knock him down and beat the dogs to the water~!"

"There are not enough ships, so it's okay to use bamboo rafts! It's very easy to build bamboo rafts. It's very easy to build thousands of pieces, and it's filled with straw and oil, and it's burning to the sky."

The princes burst into inspiration for a moment and gave suggestions.

"But what if Xiao Hunhou did not cross the river in Wujiang and led his army to the upper reaches of the river and cross the river from the upper reaches?"

King Xiang Ci of Lujiang said.

"Haha, what are you worried about? If the main force of his army goes upstream, Danyang is empty and Jinling is empty, wouldn't it just give us a chance to attack the Jinling imperial capital? We will attack the imperial capital directly!"

King Xiang Wu of Chu didn't care at all.

"Yes, Xiao Hunhou must not dare to transfer the army to the upper reaches of the river. He could only cross the river within the boundary of Wujiang and fight a decisive battle with our princes."

...

Danyang City.

Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu rectified the army in Danyang.

More than ten princes in Jiangbei were afraid and did not dare to cross the river to the south.

And they also faced a huge difficulty in going north - that is, they had too few troops.

Crossing the river northward and facing more than ten princes in Jiangbei requires a considerable number of troops.

The recruitment of a large number of peasant militiamen as miscellaneous troops was too weak to be cannon fodder, which was something that only the princes would do. When the farmer died, the princes would not feel sorry for him.

But if the court wants to do this, it will definitely be opposed by many ministers and scolded.

"The Danyang imperial court has 50,000 elite soldiers, 6,000 Danyang musketeers and hundreds of small steel cannons."

"The Wu army surrendered 25,000 elite soldiers, and King Xiang Bi of Wu is dead, so they can only be loyal to the court."

"Transfer ten thousand elite soldiers from Wanling City."

"Finally, the elite soldiers in our hands are about 90,000 soldiers and horses. The defense is barely enough... It's too barely enough to cross the river to attack."

Chu Tianxiu looked at the map, calculated the strength of the troops, and said.

There are also some local soldiers from other counties and counties, and the journey is long and it takes a long time to wait.

He can wait.

The court is afraid that it will not have the patience to wait.

"Our troops are still too few, just 90,000 troops. The ten princes on the other side are publicly known as one million troops, and even if they are reduced by half, there will be 500,000. It is very difficult to cross the river with natural dangers."

Li Yu nodded slightly, his beautiful eyes full of worry.

"Report——! General of Cavalry, General of Guard! General Zhou Lu, led the 30,000 elite navy troops in Panyang Lake, 100 large warships and more than 300 small and medium-sized ships, and have arrived in Danyang."

The guards came to report quickly.
