Although Cao Cao was defeated by Sun Ce's Soochow army, Cao Cao's main force has not been defeated. With such an army, it must be able to support Soochow's army.
As long as Soochow's army is held up and waiting for reinforcements to arrive, the situation will be reversed at that time.
Of course, doing so can prevent the Soochow army from expanding the results of the battle, as long as they support it, and then restrain them from expanding the results of the battle, it will be fine when Cao Ang comes over.
And as long as Cao Ang came over, he would directly organize a counterattack. In such a situation, there was no chance for people to react, so there was a great chance of success.
After Cao Cao gave the order, Cao Jun also got busy.
At this time, although Cao Jun's momentum was not as strong as before, they were very firm in their hearts, that is, the general would definitely not stand idly by.
This is also their confidence to fight!
In the history of Cao Cao's fortune, Cao Ang can be said to have made great military exploits. In the hearts of Cao Jun, the status of this general is not lost to Cao Cao at all.
Therefore, under the current situation, they knew deep down in their hearts that the general would definitely make a move, so each of them started to prepare for it after receiving the order.
At the same time, after Cao Cao gave the order, Cao Ang, who had rushed from the west of Liaoning, had successfully arrived in Xudu.
This time the matter was too urgent. After Cao Ang came to Xudu, he passed by his General's Mansion and didn't go in. Instead, he directly called Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to discuss countermeasures.
The situation is very urgent now, so Cao Ang needs to listen to Zhuge Liang's Pang Tong's opinion, and the ship that Zhuge Liang had arranged to make before should be able to come in handy now.
After hearing Cao Ang's summons, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong came to Cao Ang's side in a hurry. They were not far away from the battle situation in the south, so they were very clear.
This all understands the situation, so it reduces a lot of time.
After seeing Cao Ang, Pang Tong was also a little tangled and analyzed: "General, this matter is not as simple as imagined!"
"Although there are tens of thousands of people in Xudu now, they are all soldiers who are not good at water combat. If they fight Soochow, most of them will fight on water. Under such circumstances, let alone tens of thousands Troops, even if there are another [-] troops, it may not be useful!"
Now the problem lies here.
The army in the south is very good at fighting on the water, while most of the soldiers in the north are good at fighting on the ground. The most important thing is that Soochow now occupies Hefei, and Hefei is in the south, so it is inevitable to start a war in the south .
Such a situation is already very difficult, and it is simply impossible for Cao Jun to start a war in the south.
Cao Ang naturally knew this deeply, but there was no other way. After all, Hefei had to be taken back now.
If Hefei is not lost, Cao Jun only needs to hold Xiaoyaojin, and Sun Ce's Soochow army will not be able to get through.
However, the current situation is that Hefei has been taken away by them. With the Jianghuai waterway like a net, the Soochow army can directly follow the trend, which is simply helping!
In the past, Cao Ang intensively repaired the water conservancy projects in this place, and it is precisely because of these water conservancy projects that they have now become the claws of Soochow.
As long as there is water and a place where boats can be crossed, Soochow can stretch out their claws.
For the convenience of transportation, the water conservancy project specially built by Cao Ang became their claws.
This situation is even more of a headache.
Originally, it was just for his own benefit, but the current situation simply pushed himself into a desperate situation.
Zhuge Liang thought about it, and his expression was a little heavy, but now he is not worried, after all, he still has a secret weapon.
"Under the current situation, unless we have our own navy, otherwise this battle will not be fought at all!"
"Fortunately, we still have a navy in our hands!"
After weighing the situation, Zhuge Liang on the side also spoke slowly.
As soon as this situation was told, Cao Ang and Pang Tong were shocked.
When did Zhuge Liang train the navy?
Cao Ang, who is a general, is not clear about this matter, and even Pang Tong, who has been here in Xudu, is not very clear.
The task Cao Ang gave Zhuge Liang was to develop a new type of ship, and the reason why Cao Ang came back was because he wanted to use the new type of ship to compete with the Soochow army, which was good at water warfare.
However, what Cao Ang never thought of was that Zhuge Liang actually trained a group of sailors?
This situation shocked Cao Ang.
In fact, there are still many things that Cao Ang doesn't know. It's because during this period of time, Cao Ang didn't pay much attention to Zhuge Liang's side.
And Zhuge Liang is a person who loves to tinker, and he is very fond of those inventions and creations, and his wife Huang Yueying...
Chapter 324 Ship Weapons
After Zhuge Liang accepted the order, he had full power to decide what to do next, and trained the navy troops very well.
The current naval force has almost been trained. If it goes into war, it is not impossible. It happens to be able to touch the army of Soochow, so as to test the naval force that has been prepared for a year.
In addition to training a group of naval troops, Zhuge Liang also closely integrated the steam engine technology with the ship, and even loaded the gunpowder technology on the ship. This situation is very mature.
Moreover, according to Zhuge Liang's calculations, such a situation has already paid off, and only the actual combat test is left.
Afterwards, Cao Ang asked nervously, "I don't know how the navy is doing now?"
After Zhuge Liang heard what the general said, he also responded: "General, after research and development, there are already about 350 warships at this time, and there are sixty or seventy steam warships as a quick response force. In addition, we Our navy has ten thousand people!"
"The [-] people were selected from more than [-] people. There is really no way. For soldiers in the north, it is too difficult to know how to swim, so only [-] people were selected. !"
"However, I have loaded the gunpowder weapon that I have developed on the warship, which should be able to make up for the lack of navy personnel!"
Zhuge Liang told all his achievements, Zhuge Liang was not very satisfied with this situation, it was because he was the only one to worry about everything, and the ratio between contribution and return was not proportional at all.
If more people can be invested, it can at least double the amount for such a situation.
Cao Ang nodded when he heard Zhuge Liang's words, and he knew the situation clearly.
The current situation is not very good for Cao Ang, because it is better than nothing.
Cao Ang spent a lot of money to create such a naval force, and now the situation in the Huainan area is facing the vicious Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. The naval forces took it out to test the waters.
After a few days of preparation, Cao Ang led his troops, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Lu Wen to the nearest port to Xuchang.
This port is actually not natural, but a newly built artificial port ordered by Cao Ang.
The reason why the port was built was to prevent problems before they happened, because before that, Cao Ang had already thought of the characteristics of the Soochow army's good water skills, so he thought about preparing first.
However, what Cao Ang didn't expect was that this port would come in handy so quickly. It's really fortunate that he had the foresight before, otherwise he would really be crying now.
After Cao Ang and others arrived at the port, they saw more than 350 warships parked in the port, and sixty to seventy steam warships were steaming black.
At the same time, more than 2 soldiers were landing on the ship one after another.
This kind of momentum is simply huge, and it can be said to be very shocking.
