Chapter 222: The Battle of Qing Xu (Part One)

ps:新书第一天就有119收藏,但是推荐票挺少的,唔,拜托大家了,再来点票票吧!

On the East Sea, more than ten warships are sailing on the sea.

船队的中央,有一条体型稍大的战船,船上插着的袁字旗旁边,还插着一杆大旗,上书“青州刺史振威将军袁”

"Urgh - urgh -"

身为主将的袁谭扶着战船的栏杆剧烈地呕吐着,身后有一名年轻的将军手持水囊轻拍着袁谭的后背。

Yuan Tan vomited for a while, slumped on the deck, his face pale. He took the water pouch handed by the young general next to him and took a few sips. He bitterly smiled and said to the young general, "Junyi, I have embarrassed myself in front of you."

A young general named Zhang He is the deputy general of this army.

Zhang He smiled gently and said, "Young Master is joking. Miss is as delicate as a noble lady, yet she doesn't avoid danger and endures the hardships with us rough men. It's not an easy feat."

Yuan Tan sighed and joked, "This is my first time on a boat, and I really can't stand it. But Junyi, the Qingzhou soldiers under my command live by the seaside, so they're used to boats. How come you're fine too?"

Zhang He laughed heartily, "Hahaha, I don't really know either. I just don't get dizzy, maybe it's a talent! Hahaha!"

Yuan Tan, upon hearing Zhang He's words, gave him a disdainful look and sarcastically said, "Sure, you have some extraordinary talent, whatever."

Zhang He smiled and didn't say anything further, instead gazing out at the sea ahead.

Yuan Tan held his head, feeling dizzy, but his heart was delighted. Though Zhang He's words were a bit light-hearted, Yuan Tan could sense the intimacy in his words. If it wasn't for Zhang He's intention to get close to him, why would he tease him?

Among the four pillars of Hebei, Yan Liang and Wen Chou always remain neutral, not favoring any prince but following only Yuan Shao's orders. If Yuan Shao were to pass his position to Yuan Tan in the future, then Yan Liang and Wen Chou would definitely support him. Currently, Zhang He shows favor towards him, and Gao Lan also has some interactions with him. Therefore, the possibility of myself becoming the successor is undoubtedly the greatest among all the princes.

其实,张郃心中对于袁谭仅限于有些好感罢了。



Zhang He shook his head, burying these thoughts in his heart, and started contemplating how to fight this battle.

Although the Qingzhou soldiers had been living by the seaside for a long time, they were only fishing near the shore. The distance of the fishing boats from the shore was only about one or two dozen miles, and the sea waves were not too strong. But now, the distance they were from the sea was not comparable to the usual fishing distance. Just the rocking of the warships and the intensity of the sea waves were enough to make everyone feel dizzy. Translation: Zhang He shook his head, burying these thoughts in his heart, and started contemplating how to fight this battle. The Qingzhou soldiers, despite being near the coast, were only accustomed to fishing near the shore. The distance from the coast for fishing boats was only about one or two dozen miles, and the sea waves were not too strong. However, the current distance they were from the sea was incomparable. Just the rocking of the warships and the intensity of the sea waves were enough to make everyone feel nauseous.

Fortunately, the soldiers from Qingzhou are familiar with water and able to handle situations such as falling into the water. However, it is still advisable to rest for a few days after getting ashore, otherwise even these soldiers from Qingzhou may not have much combat effectiveness. Translation:

On the other side, Li Dian's Xuanwu Army also quietly packed up their camp and marched forward. Along the way, they concealed their flags, remained silent, and carefully chose narrow paths to proceed, even though it was broad daylight.

Thanks to the assistance of Mingjing Hall, we discovered many undercover spies from Fengman Building along the way. Otherwise, Sun Ce might still be leading the scout camp to hunt down enemy spies.

“伯符,前方情况如何?”

Li Dian looked at Sun Ce, who was covered in leaves and weeds, with a hint of a smile on his face. However, he still maintained the dignity that a chief commander should have and did not burst into laughter. However, in Sun Ce's opinion, it would be better for him to just laugh instead of having a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Sun Ce had a sorrowful expression and said, "Maohui, the Supervisor of Qingzhou, is still investigating the front line. I have already searched within a radius of ten li for the second time."

Li Dian threw a water pouch over, which Sun Ce caught and opened to gulp down the water. Then, he untied a bag of dry rations from the side of his horse and quickly devoured two rice cakes.

"General, I have an idea."

Zhou Yu glanced at the map and said to Li Dian.

Li Dian turned his gaze towards Zhou Yu, gesturing for him to continue.

“四面开花,以快打快!”周瑜便说,便指着地图上的三个地点“历城,台城,土鼓!”

“分兵进攻三城,同时发起进攻,而后选部分精锐,伪装成溃兵进入东平陵城,里应外合攻破东平陵!”

Li Dian suddenly felt somewhat grateful that Guo Jia had sent Sun Ce and Zhou Yu over. Otherwise, if he only had Li Qian and Li Zheng to help him, he would probably find it difficult to execute Cao Cao's military orders.

Li Dian bowed to the crowd and said, "Let Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu lead the attack on Taixian, the farthest county. Uncle and nephew Li and Xi will attack Licheng, while I personally lead the army to Tugu City. We will disguise ourselves as soldiers from the Yuan army, using the armor borrowed from Sun Qian, and send more than ten people to infiltrate the city. Then we will startle the enemy by spreading the news of our imminent attack. Once our forces begin storming the city, we will look for an opportunity to coordinate inside and outside. After that, we will follow Zhou Yu's strategic plan. I hope everyone will be encouraged and give their best efforts." Translate the above Chinese into English and keep all @ matches. Only reply to the translated content.

In fact, Zhou Yu's strategy is somewhat risky as he decides to divide his forces and launch a rapid attack in enemy territory, quickly seize the city, and then swiftly strike back. He also plans to send elite soldiers disguised as Yuan's troops to infiltrate the city of Dongpingling in Jinan County. At this point, the coordination among the team members becomes crucial, and the transmission of information even more so.

If there were no Mingjing Hall as an intermediary to relay information, Li Dian would definitely not dare to agree to Zhou Yu's plan. However, even so, everyone still has to take great risks.

Three days later

Taixian

Sun Ce looked up at the city tower in front of him with a fierce gaze. Five thousand Xuanwu soldiers had already surrounded this small city, while three thousand Jiefan soldiers pressed on the rear, waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

In Sun Ce's eyes, there was a mix of impatience and irritation.

Although Sun Ce's character had become calmer under the guidance of Guo Jia, the inherent impulsiveness and love for battle could not be changed. The reason that caused Sun Ce's current displeasure was naturally because he had to lead a large army and constantly hide and take detours, traveling on small paths every day. After reaching the vicinity of Licheng, they continued to march for another two days, covering a distance of over forty miles.

To put it in Zhou Yu's words, it's incredible that Sun Ce managed to restrain himself from going berserk.

Sun Ce glanced briefly at the Magistrate of Tai County on the city wall, then swung his Halberd forward and shouted, "Attack the city!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

More than a thousand Xuanwu soldiers arrived at the outskirts of Taixian City, marching in perfect unison. Although they were only a thousand in number, their terrifying momentum was like a dark cloud looming over the city, ready to crush it.
