When the sun had completely set, the battle in Nanhu County could barely come to an end.

Zhao Long can only be said to be basically satisfied with the results obtained by the Gan army, so-so.

The pre-war goals have basically been achieved. Although they failed to win a few large military strongholds, they also gained a firm foothold on the south bank.

The same is true for Zhao Long's dissatisfaction, "It's just not enough to stand firm. We need to squeeze the space of the Shun army vigorously, let Shi Bandao's people storm the hinterland of Nanhu County, and force the Shun army to abandon the military stronghold on the shore."

It is not wise to storm the large military stronghold of the Shun army, even with siege equipment, there will be a lot of casualties.

The best way is to mobilize the Shun army in the military camp, so that the military camp will naturally be destroyed without attack.

Of course, this is just Zhao Long's good idea, Shun Jun will definitely not transfer all the troops from the large military camp as he wished.

Liu Jiwu: It took me a lot of effort to build it. If you say you want to transfer it, you will transfer it away?

The construction method of the dry army is not so easy to imitate, it needs a lot of manpower and material resources, and money and food are always a topic that cannot be avoided.

The military stronghold that spent a lot of money, food and manpower is easily handed over to others?

No matter who it is, it will be reconciled and unbearable.

Besides, it is not impossible to defend a large military village. The walls of the military village are all made of bluestone and masonry. They are very strong and can last for a long time even with siege equipment.

After all, Ganjun's siege equipment is not a sniper rifle, and it is impossible to accurately strike a part.

Some fortified walls were able to hold out for months against large siege engines.

Shunjun's large-scale military fortress is definitely not good. Although it is called a large-scale military fortress, it is actually only the size of a small city, and it is less than 200 mu including farmland.

This is already the extreme that Liu Jiwu can do.

Being able to build so many large military strongholds in a few months has exhausted the potential of Nanhu County.

Not one more!

However, no matter how the Shun army responds, Zhao Long will let the Qian army attack the hinterland of Nanhu County.

Hanging around the edge of Dongting Lake all the time, they are almost becoming fishermen.

Not to mention, the fish and shrimp in Dongting Lake taste really good. Zhao Long thinks that in the future, he can send people to regularly purchase a batch of fish and shrimp from Dongting County as a supplement for Shenwuwei's military rations.

It's just that the fresh-keeping technology is not good enough. I don't know if it can keep the freshness after being transported to the capital.

It will be much more convenient when the new king is confirmed in the future. No matter where the new king is, it must be closer to Dongting Lake than Qianyang City.

Qianjun's actions did not exceed Liu Jiwu's expectations. Why is Nanhu County difficult to defend?

Most of it is because Dongting Lake is too big and there are too many places to go ashore, especially a few ferry crossings with good terrain. Once occupied, Nanhu County will open the door and it is impossible to guard against it.

Fighting could easily spread to other cities in the county.

Of course, the city of Nanhu County does not lose its combat effectiveness without the defense line on the shore. It is still a difficult battle for the dry army to invade Nanhu County.

After more than a month of boring water battles, the dry army finally landed on the land of Nanhu County.

Although the water battle for more than a month was not fierce, it still played a great role in promoting the development of the dry country's water army.

The learning speed of Shenwuwei fighters is not slow. As long as there are enough warships in the future, Shenwuwei will be able to form a qualified navy soon.

Just qualified, not excellent.

It is better to have soldiers of the imperial navy, so as to form an overwhelming advantage over the naval forces of other countries.

Fighting against Shun State's navy now is not even considered a navy. It should be so difficult to fight with Shun State on the water. How will we fight Chu State's navy in the future?

Training! Training!

We must develop a navy, a powerful navy!

Gu Cup However, this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Long for the time being, and training the navy is not his task.

His mission is to destroy the Shun army in Nanhu County and occupy Nanhu County.

In the evening, the Gan army's offensive gradually stopped, but the fighting in some areas has not yet ended.

Some generals of the Shun Army wanted to drive the Qian Army out of the lake when they were not able to gain a firm foothold.

Liu Jiwu's military order was a little slow, and it didn't spread to all the military strongholds on the shore.

Ganjun will definitely not back down, as long as you follow the army and dare to fight, I will accompany you.

For one night, the main forces of both sides were resting, but the fighting never stopped.

The sporadic fighting last night did not end until the sun came out the next day and the larger-scale fighting began.

The Shun Army retreated to the Bingzhai, and if they didn't go back, they would be surrounded by the Qian Army.

Don't think that the Shun army has 100,000 soldiers and the Qian army has only 40,000, which means that the Shun army has the superiority in strength.

The Shun army is on the defensive side. There are too many places to defend, and the troops are scattered.

The dry army does not have this disadvantage. They only need to gather strength, specialize in one point, keep attacking, and then attack again!

Liu Jiwu ordered the Shun army to abandon part of the military strongholds yesterday because he did not want the Qian army to destroy them one by one.

As long as the several large military strongholds on the shore are not breached, coupled with the cooperation of some military strongholds, the dry army will not dare to easily attack the hinterland.

If you are not careful, you will be cut off from the back, and Shenwuwei may be completely cut off from supplies.

It is not easy to transport supplies from Dongting County to Nanhu County.

Zhao Long didn't know that Liu Jiwu ordered Xu Fan to train a new navy.

After Xu Fan was defeated by the scout battalion, he consciously hid his actions~lightnovelpub.net~Even the people inside the Shun Army he would not fully trust.

Xu Fan: There must be spies from Qianguo inside our army, otherwise the whereabouts of our navy would not be revealed so quickly!

He has received Liu Jiwu's order and is looking for opportunities on Dongting Lake with the water army that has completed training.

The messenger sent not only Liu Jiwu's orders, but also the battle reports of the Qian and Shun armies.

Xu Fan knew that it was useless for him to go to the frontal battlefield. The Qianjun took advantage of the north wind to attack them yesterday and attacked Nanhu County in one go. Although there was no north wind today, Xu Fan still did not intend to face the Qian army head-on.

"There is a lot of gunpowder in the army, and they are good at using gunpowder. It is unwise to confront them head-on. It is best for us to look for fighters on Dongting Lake and support Liu Shuai from the outside."

Xu Fan thought very clearly that the current situation of the battle has changed, and the Gan army has already invaded Nanhu County, so the battle on Dongting Lake can no longer be a frontal battle, and must be more flexible.

"It is impossible for the army of Nanhu County to cross the lake with a large amount of food. In the last two days, the army of Dongting County will definitely deliver food and grass to Nanhu County. Our chance has come!"

With Xu Fan's navy, the dry army's food fleet is indeed at great risk.

It is impossible for Zhao Long to **** the grain transport team with a fleet of ten thousand people.

However, there were too few boats to **** the food delivery team, so they were not Xu Fan's opponent.

Although Xu Fan's navy army did not train for a long time, it must be stronger than the dry army.

If Liu Jiwu hadn't transferred some of the warships in the Shun Army to Xu Fan, it would have taken a little more effort for the Gan Army to invade Nanhu County yesterday.

But Xu Fan is also good, now their role can be highlighted.

And more importantly, Qian Jun didn't know that Xu Fan had a new navy.

The possibilities for their future are endless!
