At this time, Liu Jiwu boarded a ten-foot-long warship as his flagship.

In fact, his flagship can only stabilize the morale of the army, and he is not good at commanding water battles.

But at this time, his flagship is Dinghaishenzhen. With his flag in place, the Shun army will not collapse completely.

At this time, Liu Jiwu's flagship continuously played semaphore, commanding the Shunjun fleet to reorganize the formation.

On the vast water surface, an unformed fleet is vulnerable.

Although Liu Jiwu is not good at water warfare, he also knows that the current Shun army is definitely powerless to resist the dry army.

"Withdraw to the south bank and let the soldiers on the bank cover us to go back."

As long as they can go back, they still have a chance to come back.

Xu Fan also has a relatively strong navy, and Liu Jiwu still has high hopes for them.

…

Zhao Long didn't see the picture of the burning boat, but he saw the picture of the lake burning.

The raging fire blocked Qianjun's way forward. Unlike the chasing Qianjun, Zhao Long's flagship did not go around the sea of ​​flames. No, it had to go around the sea of ​​fire, but there was no rush.

He didn't need to command the battle ahead, and he had already done the division of labor on the shore in the morning.

As long as each general completes their respective tasks smoothly, there will be no suspense in this battle.

Shun Jun's reaction was all within Qian Jun's expectations, including Liu Jiwu reorganizing the fleet and withdrawing to the south bank.

"Heh, I thought I could run, so I sent the order to speed up the pursuit, and let Shunjun know what despair is!"

Twenty remodeled ships broke away from the dry army fleet and quickly approached the Shun army.

Driven by the north wind, the modified military boats are not a little bit faster than normal warships.

Even the dry army and warships can't keep up.

The pursuit of these small boats is definitely not to destroy the Shun Army fleet, but to disrupt their formation and rhythm.

As long as their formation is disordered, the army behind will be able to catch up.

The battle lasted for a long time. The dry army went to the lake from the morning, and the battle on the lake had just ended when the sun was setting.

But the battle is not over yet, another battle has just begun.

The offensive and defensive battle on the lakeshore officially started.

Liu Jiwu returned to the water village on the south bank with less than ten warships under the support of Nan'an Shunjun.

Except for these ten warships and Xu Fan's water army, there was no Shunjun ship on Dongting Lake.

At this time, Zhao Long had landed on the land of Nanhu County.

The Bingzhai here has been occupied by the Gan army, and more than 300 of the 500 Shun soldiers inside were killed, and more than 100 surrendered.

Although Zhao Long led Shenwuwei, his experience in training local legions made him very good at using the power of local soldiers.

Dongting County and Nanhu County had a lot of non-governmental exchanges.

Zhao Long transferred a battalion all from Dongting County this morning.

Their purpose is simple, to persuade the Shun Army in Nanhu County to surrender.

Judging from the current results, they have a great effect.

This military stronghold is just an example. In the battles of other military strongholds, this battalion of local soldiers from Dongting County achieved considerable results.

There were a total of 3,000 soldiers of the Shun Army who were persuaded to surrender by them.

They themselves are only two thousand people.

Immediately after Liu Jiwu landed, he arranged for the Shun army on the shore to resist the attack of the Qian army.

In the morning, he didn't expect that the dry army would launch a general attack in this weather. Although he attached great importance to the changes in the dry army, he did not put all his troops into it.

Gu QiaoNanhu County still has 70,000 to 80,000 Shunjun troops defending, and Liu Jiwu has not conceded defeat yet!

The Shun army has lost the strength to compete with the Gan army on Dongting Lake, and the defense will undoubtedly become more difficult.

But Liu Jiwu was unable to think about that kind of thing.

If you can't hold on today, what about the Dongting Lake battle?

Liu Jiwu was not injured, but his attire was in a mess.

"Go and inform Xu Fan that before this evening, his navy must leave the water village and go to the lake. Whether he sneaks up on the army or chooses another water puddle to set up camp, he cannot stay where he is."

Xu Fan's water army may be his last force on Dongting Lake, and it must not be wiped out by being blocked in the water village.

What difference can there be if only one day is left, let's pull it out and play a game first!

As soon as the messenger sent to Xu Fan's office left, two generals from the Shun Army walked in.

This is not the original camp of the Shun Army. The generals went to arrange for the soldiers to rest first, and then they gathered here at Liu Jiwu's place.

But now they don't have time to hold a long meeting, so Liu Jiwu can only order it, and other generals will carry it out.

After the two generals came in, before Liu Jiwu could speak, they spoke first, "Marshal, the soldiers have been settled, but their morale is very low and they have no combat power."

Liu Jiwu nodded, and he didn't intend to let the camp continue to fight.

Although they were defeated today, they were still the few soldiers in the Shun Army who could fight on water, and they couldn't all be lost in the hands of the Gan Army.

It is not appropriate to compete with the army today.

Liu Jiwu was soberly aware of the situation.

"Let all the military strongholds on the shore be strictly defended. Some remote military strongholds can be abandoned, and the main military strongholds should be guarded. Don't let the dry army gain a firm foothold on the south bank..."

Liu Jiwu began to command the Shun army to defend the lakeshore. Time was tight, and his orders might not be delivered to all the military camps in time. Some of the military camps were breached by the dry army before Liu Jiwu's order arrived...

But his order is still very important~lightnovelpub.net~ At least it can let the Shun army find the backbone, condense into a rope, and won't become a mess.

If Liu Jiwu had just been left on the lake, the dry army would have at least tripled in size at this time.

The Shun army built a strong military stronghold on the south bank of Dongting Lake, at least three points for the dry army.

Even Shenwuwei can only attack some small military strongholds before the large siege equipment is brought in.

There are only five or six hundred people at most, and the same number of dry soldiers can take it with a little effort.

If the number of soldiers in the Bingzhai is over a thousand, then it will be a bit troublesome for the same number of dry troops to break through the Bingzhai.

At least one and a half times as many troops are needed to take it down relatively easily.

Of course, this is because Shenwuwei's equipment is not complete, and he is not ready to attack the city.

It also has something to do with Liu Jiwu's learning of the construction method of Qianjun's camp.

But not big!

Yes, it doesn't matter much!

But in the evening, after Zhao Long received the summary of the day's battle report, he immediately discovered the changes in the Shun Army, which made him appreciate Liu Jiwu, the commander of the Shun Army.

"This Liu Jiwu is a smart guy, but he followed the wrong guy!"

Zhao Long's words were somewhat biased, not that Liu Jiwu followed the wrong person, but that he had no right to choose from the very beginning.

Generals like him have their own insistence, and unless the circumstances are extremely special, they will not change their families easily.

Even though he knew that he might not be able to defend Nanhu County, Liu Jiwu never thought of surrendering.

Only General Shunguo died in battle, not General Shunguo who surrendered.

At this time, several former generals of the Shun Army who stood beside Serious in the Zhongshan Mountains could only lower their heads, silently thinking: We are not afraid of death, but fear of death is worthless!
