Although the scout battalion had done a lot of preparatory work in advance, it was finally discovered by the Shun army.

Fortunately, they had already run into the mountains when they were discovered.

It was even more difficult for Shun Jun to catch up with them in the mountains.

Liu Jiwu was not particularly surprised when he heard the news.

"Still going into the mountains? It really hasn't changed at all."

While not surprising, the headache is still a headache.

Liu Jiwu has studied the dry army deeply and knows one of their favorite battlefields.

Many well-known generals of the Shun Kingdom fell in the mountains on their own territory.

Now those mountains have become the mountains of Qianguo.

But Liu Jiwu didn't want to let the scout battalion go. It was his shame that Zhao Long trained his men on Dongting Lake, and it was also his shame that the scout battalion stole his navy from the rear.

Letting the Scout Battalion go would be the shame of shame.

Nailed to the pillar of shame!

Liu Jiwu sent his confidant and love general to chase the scout camp.

"I'll give you three thousand soldiers and horses. That army should not be many. Go and stop them and try to capture the leader alive."

"yes."

…

The scout battalion really annoyed Liu Jiwu, but the more important thing at this time was the water battle in Dongting Lake. Only the battle on the lake could determine the final result.

Liu Jiwu is not a commander who is good at water warfare, but he is no stranger to water warfare, otherwise he would not be appointed as the commander of Nanhu County.

King Shun knew very well that the battle in Nanhu County was mainly a water battle. If he made good use of the natural dangers of Dongting Lake and blocked the army on the north bank of Dongting Lake, Shun Kingdom could hold on for a while longer.

If Shun Country can sort out and unite its domestic forces during this period of time, then Shun Country might be able to stand up again.

Qianguo can't beat it, so why not let Shunguo develop in other directions?

The state of Chu in the south is also very powerful, but it is not impossible to go to the southwest!

Therefore, the position of Nanhu County is very important, and the responsibility on Liu Jiwu's shoulders is very heavy.

Dongting County.

Zhao Long read the battle report of yesterday's water battle, the loss is still not small, the casualties of the soldiers are not bad, the Shenwuwei who can board the ship are all soldiers with good water skills, and they can swim away from the center of the battlefield when the ship sinks, only some soldiers are not lucky, Being shot directly by the bed crossbow, he didn't even have a chance to dive.

Qianjun and Shunjun have been fighting on Dongting Lake for seven or eight days, and the scout battalion has returned to Dongting County two days ago.

In fact, Sun Jichao wanted to stay in Nanhu County, and they could draw more energy from the Shun Army if they stayed, and their role would be much smaller when they returned to Dongting County.

The next battle will basically take place on Dongting Lake, they will never go to the lake to investigate intelligence!

It's not impossible.

Row a few small boats, bring swimming and diving equipment, and maybe you can find some important information.

See luck.

But Zhao Long would definitely not let them go to the lake to investigate intelligence.

Dongting Lake will narrow the gap between the scout battalion and the Shun army scouts, and the scout battalion can play a stronger role on the shore.

Zhao Long: "Don't worry, you will have the opportunity to play in the future, it is indispensable. I just came back from Nanhu County, so go to rest for a few days."

When Zhao Long spoke, Sun Jichao could only obey, otherwise what could he do?

 …

Liu Jiwu is actually a little confused these days, why did Qianguo launch an attack in Dongting County?

There is still a long border line to the west, no matter which county you invade from the south, it is better than Dongting Lake!

Isn't Ganjun very good at mountain warfare?

Shunguo prefectures and counties to the west of Nanhu County rely on mountains to resist the invasion from the north.

At the junction of Shun State and Qian State, the topography from east to west is Dongting Lake, Zhongshan Mountains, and Western Desert.

Guzao West barren desert is indeed not suitable for army operations, but the Zhongshan Mountains in the middle are definitely more suitable for dry troops than Dongting Lake. Why do they fight in Dongting Lake?

Will there be some conspiracy?

But he didn't have any evidence, and Shenwuwei was indeed the elite of the Qian Kingdom, as can be seen from the battles in the past few days.

Not knowing what Qian Guo was thinking, Liu Jiwu could only tell his guess to the coach Zu Tiancheng who was defending the border in the west.

The relationship between him and Zu Tiancheng is not bad, but it can't be called close. King Shun will not let two generals with a very close relationship lead the 200,000 troops on the front line.

These 200,000 troops are almost all the soldiers in Shun Kingdom who can fight.

Among them, there are many recruits who have just trained for less than three months.

Of course, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in the south to guard against Chu State, but they cannot be moved. Even if Chu State took the initiative to show a friendly attitude, the current Shun State would not believe it.

Fortunately, Shun Country is not short of food, grass and money, and can continue to train more soldiers, but it will take time.

What King Shun lacked most at this time was time. He needed to persist for a while longer to determine a suitable heir, and give him another push so that he could take control of the situation as soon as possible.

Shun country also needs more time to recover its strength.

King Shun is under pressure, so he will naturally give it to him

Among them, the right minister in charge of reform in the DPRK and China and several front-line coaches are the ones who are under the greatest pressure.

The commander-in-chief in the south is okay, there must be pressure, but it is mainly buried in his heart. Chu State has not taken any action yet, and the south just needs to do a good job of defense.

The pressure on the north is even greater, and the offensive of Qianguo has already begun.

Although it is only a war between Dongting County and Nanhu County at present, who can guarantee that the war will not expand.

nobody!

The flames of war may expand to the entire North (Shun State) at any time.

Of course, Liu Jiwu is the one with the most pressure.

The daily battles are not too fierce, but he always has a bad feeling ~lightnovelpub.net~ This is not like their style. "

Liu Jiwu recalled all the battle reports he had seen about the Qian army. Whenever the people of the Qian country behaved like this, there would be a series of plans behind them, and then they would be defeated inexplicably.

They didn't know anything about the process of implementing the plan by the Chinese people. Looking back at these battles after the war, there were many things they couldn't understand.

For example, how did the Chinese people build so many fortresses in the mountains in a short period of time;

A large number of reinforcements suddenly appeared from the besieged Qianguo army;

Their food team was inexplicably robbed, and a large amount of food and grass disappeared without a trace...

Thinking of this, Liu Jiwu suddenly became excited, "Would the people of Gan country also deal with me like this?"

Think about it, it's very possible!

He, Liu Jiwu, is not the same as other generals of the Shun Kingdom. People from the Qian Kingdom can use it on other generals, why can't they use it on him?

Liu Jiwu didn't want to be defeated inexplicably and lose his life.

There is only one solution, to defeat the Qianjun before their plans are completed.

"Can I do it?"

Liu Jiwu couldn't help being suspicious.

He never doubted his ability, but Gan Jun had already proved their strength on the battlefield, even he dared not say that he could do better than Gan Jun.

And now the initiative on the battlefield is in the hands of Gan Jun. If he wants to break the situation, he has to take the initiative.

It's a pity that the navy was attacked by the Qian people, and its strength was less than one-tenth.

Fortunately, Xu Fan was fine, and was found by the Shun Army who came from behind. The ships and soldiers of the navy suffered heavy losses, but as long as Xu Fan was around, the Shun Army's combat power on Dongting Lake would be stronger.

The premise is that Liu Jiwu can reinvigorate his fighting spirit. The destruction of the navy has dealt a great blow to him, and he has not come out yet.
